Brake replacement intervals can vary depending on driving habits and conditions. However, as a general guideline, brake pads typically need to be replaced every 30,000 to 70,000 miles, while brake rotors may last longer and typically need replacement every 50,000 to 70,000 miles.

Signs that your brakes may need replacement include squealing or grinding noises, a pulsating brake pedal, longer stopping distances, or a brake warning light illuminated on the dashboard. If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to have your brakes inspected promptly.

The time it takes to replace brakes on a BMW M235i Gran Coupe can vary depending on factors such as the extent of wear, whether the rotors need replacement, and the availability of parts. Typically, a brake replacement service can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours.

It’s recommended to replace both brake pads and rotors at the same time for optimal braking performance and safety. However, if the rotors are still in good condition and within specifications, they may not need replacement with every brake service.

The best type of brake pads for your BMW M235i Gran Coupe depends on your driving preferences and needs. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) brake pads offer the same performance as the ones originally installed on your vehicle. Alternatively, aftermarket brake pads may offer different characteristics such as improved performance or reduced brake dust.
