2018 BMW 3 Series Brake Pads and Rotors
The decision to replace both brake pads and rotors at the same time makes practical and financial sense for your 2018 BMW 3 Series. When new pads are fitted to worn rotors, you risk uneven bedding, premature pad wear, and compromised stopping performance. At Herb Chambers BMW of Boston our technicians perform a precision inspection of rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition. If rotors are salvageable, we resurface or machine them to factory tolerances; if not, we replace them with BMW-approved rotors designed to meet thermal and friction requirements of the 330e iPerformance. This holistic approach avoids repeat visits and saves you money over time by preventing premature pad wear and uneven braking that can lead to costly caliper or ABS repairs. We also check associated hardware — caliper pins, shims, and sensors — so everything works together.
