Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different roles: front rotors typically handle a larger portion of braking force and therefore wear faster, while rear rotors support stability and may see less heat stress. Many modern BMW braking systems are tuned so the front assemblies see more load; that’s why front rotor wear often precedes rear. Our technicians at Richmond BMW precisely measure thickness, run-out, and pad condition to determine whether front, rear, or both axles need attention. We offer OEM rotor replacements and resurfacing when within factory limits, and we’ll explain the cost-benefit of each choice — including the long-term savings of doing repairs correctly the first time. Take advantage of our convenient online scheduling and promotions: service specials reduce upfront cost and we provide service financing to make necessary repairs affordable.

Different types of 2024 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe Disc Brakes

Disc brake systems can differ by rotor design and material: solid rotors are simple and cost-effective for lighter loads; vented rotors add cooling capacity for performance and resistance to fade; slotted or drilled rotors can aid in heat dissipation and debris removal for spirited driving. For the 2024 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe, vented OEM rotors are commonly used on front axle applications to manage repeated heat cycles, while rear rotors may be solid or vented depending on configuration. Richmond BMW installs the correct OEM-style rotor recommended for your vehicle and driving habits—ensuring ABS and stability systems function as engineered. Our team can advise on performance-oriented options if you’re tracking or performance driving, but we always prioritize compatibility and longevity. Ask about current service specials, and schedule service to discuss the right disc choice for your BMW.
