Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The front and rear brake rotors on a 2016 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo 328i xDrive SULEV perform distinct roles: front rotors handle most of the braking load and heat, so they typically wear faster, while rear rotors provide balance and stability. Front rotors are often larger and see higher temperatures, which makes them more susceptible to warping and scoring under heavy use. At Herb Chambers BMW of Boston our technicians evaluate both axles and recommend resurfacing when the rotor surface can be restored safely, or replacement when thickness limits or damage demand new rotors. Choosing OEM replacements ensures proper fit, heat tolerance, and consistent feel from the pedal. We also highlight promotions and service specials that make a full-axle job more affordable, and our service financing options let you get necessary repairs now and pay over time.
