OEM BMW Brake Pads
In order for your BMW car or SAV to stop, you need reliable brakes. With disc brakes, that requires three major parts working together. Your brake pads are one of those parts.
How Brake Pads Work
It all starts with you pressing your foot against the brake pedal. That causes the master brake cylinder to send brake fluid to pistons. The pressure of the fluid forces the brake calipers to close onto your brake rotors. That results in the friction needed to slow, and eventually stop, the rotation of your wheels. The brake pads cushion the contact between the calipers and rotors, preventing them from getting damaged by the heat and pressure.
How to Spot Brake Pad Issues
Even the highest quality brake pads can eventually fail, though. Signs of this include:
- Your brake pedal vibrates or bounces
- Squealing, grinding, or squeaking noises when you brake
- Taking longer to come to a stop
- It feels like you need to press extremely hard on the brake pedal to get your brakes to respond

When you do need to replace your brake pads, do it in pairs. That helps to ensure consistent braking performance from both front – or rear -- wheels.
