2017 BMW X5 xDrive35d Brake Pads and Rotors

For the 2017 BMW X5 xDrive35d, pairing new brake pads with properly matched rotors preserves stopping distance, reduces vibration and extends the life of braking components.

At Herb Chambers BMW of Boston our technicians inspect rotor thickness, runout and surface condition before recommending repair — and we always explain the trade-offs so you can make an informed decision. Using OEM pads and rotors ensures material compatibility, consistent bite and corrosion resistance tailored to your X5's diesel torque characteristics. We also replace related hardware and torque fasteners to factory specifications, which independent shops sometimes overlook. Because we stock OEM parts and have dedicated brake bays, you often save money overall by avoiding repeat visits and premature rotor replacement.
