OEM BMW Brake Calipers

Brake calipers are integral parts of the front disc brake system in your BMW car or SUV. They're attached to its master cylinder via a tube, hose, and valve network that moves brake fluid back and forth. The calipers themselves, however, house your brake pads and pistons. The job of any quality set of BMW brake calipers is to slow your vehicle's wheels. They do this by producing friction with your brake rotors, on which they fit like clamps. When you step on your brake pedal, brake fluid pressurizes the caliper's pistons. This force pushes the pads against your brake rotors. That's what slows your car and helps it come to a complete stop. Eventually, though, your braking system's heat can weaken and degrade the seals inside your brake calipers. That's true even in normal driving conditions. The calipers can then contaminate and rust. Luckily, there are plenty of signs and symptoms of bad brake calipers to let you know to change them. For one, your brakes can continuously squeal or grind. Secondly, your brake warning or even antilock braking system (ABS) warning lights can illuminate on the dash. Third, your car can pull sideways during braking. Your brake pedal might even feel too soft or hard, and you may need to pump your brakes for full effect. Finally, your wheels or engine compartment could appear covered in brake fluid, indicating a leak. The best brake calipers for replacement in these cases are OEM BMW, right off the factory line.
