How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

How often should you replace your 2024 BMW i5 rotors?

• Use our service specials and financing options to maintain braking performance affordably.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing smooths minor imperfections and restores surface flatness if thickness remains within spec; replacement is required for severe wear, cracks, or inadequate thickness.
