2020 BMW i8 Brake Pads and Rotors

The 2020 BMW i8 combines hybrid efficiency with performance braking demands — that makes correct pad and rotor service essential. At Herb Chambers BMW of Boston our approach pairs OEM brake pads with precision rotor inspection and resurfacing when appropriate. Replacing pads alone while leaving worn or warped rotors can create vibration, uneven wear and reduced braking consistency; conversely, pairing new pads with properly machined or replaced rotors restores pedal feel and extends component life. Our technicians perform dimensional checks, runout and thickness measurements and examine calipers and hardware to ensure complete system integrity. We recommend replacing or resurfacing rotors in tandem with pads when tolerances fall outside BMW specifications. Doing both together avoids repeat labor, reduces long-term cost and improves heat dissipation under spirited driving. Schedule an inspection to review your i8’s readings — schedule service — and ask about money-saving options on our service specials.
