5 Signs You Need BMW Brakes

April 24th, 2023 by

Brakes are one of the most important safety features on your BMW. Your BMW’s brakes are responsible for slowing and stopping the thousands of pounds of metal you’re driving; it’s important that they function properly. At Bill Jacobs BMW, our service department is here to ensure the health of your BMW is maintained, including your brakes. Here are 5 easy ways to identify the signs of poor brake performance.

  • High Pitched Squealing

If you hear a high-pitched squealing when you apply pressure to your brakes, this is likely the metal shim outside your brake pad. This is a sign of worn brakes. Schedule a brake inspection today.

  • Grinding or Scraping Noise

Just like squealing sounds, grinding indicates a later stage of brake depreciation, indicating the outer metal surface of the brake pad is now rubbing against the rotor. Take care of this issue immediately, as it may lead to rotor damage.

  • Pulling To One Side

Does your BMW pull to one side when the brakes are applied? If so, this indicates one brake pad or rotor is worn down more than the other side, and can be a serious issue when emergency maneuvers are needed. Schedule a BMW brake inspection today at our BMW service center.

  • Pedal Vibrations

Should your brake pedal (or entire car) vibrate when you’re slowing or stopping, the brake pad or rotor wear can be the cause. The good news is the service team at Bill Jacobs BMW is trained to help identify these brake issues and provide the service and parts needed to get your BMW back on the road in no time.

  • Pressing the Brake Just Doesn’t Seem Right

Sometimes pushing on the brake pedal just doesn’t feel right. If the pedals are too stiff, too spongy, or sinks close to the floor when pressed, these may be signs of brake wear and tear. If it’s been a while since you last serviced your brakes it might be time for a service inspection. Schedule a time to come and see us. We’ll be happy to perform an inspection.
