Repairing Or Upgrading Brakes
No matter how or why you use your BMW, brake condition is crucial for safe operation. As a quick recap, consider how your automobile’s brakes function. Yes, you press the brake pedal, and your car slows/stops, but an essential chain of events occurs in between to make this happen. Once you touch the pedal, brake fluid is forced by a piston through the lines from the brake master cylinder to the brake calipers at each wheel. When this happens, hydraulic pressure is applied on the back of the caliper piston, which creates the stopping force from your brake pads and piston through lines from the master cylinder to the cylinder at each wheel. The friction between the brake pad and the rotor/disc facilitates the stop. Every vehicle eventually needs brake repair. Most BMWs come with semi-metallic brake pads as standard equipment. While they typically last longer than traditional, less expensive metal pads, they won’t last forever. Once the brake pads or rotors have worn to the minimum thickness or you are experiencing some braking concerns, you’ll need them to be inspected or replaced. This is true and critical, even if your family carefully drives your car. However, brake repair is also a vital part of your performance upgrade consideration. The faster you go and the harder you accelerate, the more work your brakes will need to do in a short amount of time to bring your auto to a standstill. That equates to a greater amount of friction, additional heat, and increased brake pad and rotor wear. Thus, if you’re a performance enthusiast, consider brake system upgrades, too. Options include ceramic and carbon components that better endure heightened stress and temperatures, keeping you safer and making the components last longer.
