OEM BMW Brakes
There are two kinds of automotive braking systems. One is a disc brake system, while the other is a drum brake system. They have some parts in common, such as master cylinders, brake pistons, brake lines, and brake hoses. Those common parts work the same way in both systems. When you press your foot against the brake pedal, the pistons move along the brake cylinder's bore. That pressurizes hydraulic brake fluid, which then travels through the lines and hoses.
The Differences Between the Two Brake Systems
It's what happens at the end of the line that's different, along with the parts involved. In a disc brake system, the fluid causes brake calipers to clamp brake pads onto brake rotors and create the resistance needed to stop your BMW. With a drum brake system, the fluid makes a brake shoe and brake drum fasten together to produce that same friction and slow your wheels.
Learn to Recognize Brake Issues
Use your brakes long enough, though, and they'll wind up wearing out. If you notice any of the following signs, conduct a thorough brake inspection to identify the source of the trouble:
- A shuddering brake pedal
- Your BMW pulls to the side when you're braking
- The brake pedal feels soft or squishy
- You hear odd noises when you brake
- The dashboard warning light comes on
Choose Genuine OEM Brakes for Guaranteed Fit and Performance
