OEM BMW Brake Pads
Brake pads are an important component in your BMW vehicle's disc braking system. That's because your brake pads protect the brake calipers and brake rotors from harm as they produce the friction needed to slow your wheels and eventually stop your tires.
The Four Kinds of Brake Pads
The most common type of brake pad is organic, which are found on most cars and SUVs. They're dependable, affordable, and easy on your brake rotors. They also don't produce much brake dust.
Many trucks feature either metallic or ceramic brake pads. Metallic brake pads are firmer feeling and resist heat well. Ceramic brake pads are quieter than other types, are more reliable in wet conditions, and produce a brake dust that's less sticky than others.
Finally, there are carbon fiber brake pads. They're tough, temperature-resistant, and deliver exceptional stopping power. That makes them ideal for sports cars and performance models.
How to Spot Bad Brake Pads
Unfortunately, brake pads don't last forever. When they lose effectiveness, you need to replace them ASAP or risk significant problems. Signs of failure include:
- Your brake pedal bounces or vibrates
- You notice squealing, grinding, or squeaking noises when you brake
- It takes your BMW longer to come to a complete stop
- You feel like you need to "step" on the brake pedal to get your brakes to engage
