BMW 128i Brake Pads
The brake pads are an essential part of your BMW 128i vehicle's disc brake system. They protect both your brake calipers and brake rotors from the heat and pressure generated by the friction that slows –and eventually stops – your wheels' rotations.
The Types of Brake Pads
Most common is organic, which can be found on most cars and SUVs. They're affordable, reliable, and easiest on brake rotors.
Trucks usually have either metallic or ceramic brake pads. Metallic brake pads feel firmer and are better at resisting heat. Ceramic brake pads are quieter, more reliable when conditions are wet, and produce a less-sticky brake dust. Lastly, carbon fiber brake pads are tough, temperature-resistant, and offer outstanding stopping power.
How to Recognize Bad Brake Trouble
Brake pads don't last forever, though. When they start to go bad, you'll want to replace them as quickly as you can or you may face serious problems. Signs of failure include:
- Bouncing or vibrating brake pedal
- Squealing, grinding, or squeaking noises
- Taking longer to come to a complete stop
- Feeling as though you need to "step" on the brake pedal
