How Many Pistons Does the BMW 5 Series Brake Have?

[DelNevaeh]

The new BMW 5 Series has been upgraded to a four-piston brake system, which is technologically advanced, reliable, and offers better performance. Types of Brake Calipers: Currently, there are two main types of brake calipers: single-piston calipers and multi-piston calipers. Single-Piston Calipers: Most ordinary vehicles use single-piston calipers because their speeds are not very high. Manufacturers opt for single-piston calipers to save costs, as there is no need for multi-piston calipers in such cases. However, single-piston calipers have uneven braking force distribution between the inner and outer sides, which can lead to uneven wear on the brake pads and limited braking force. Multi-Piston Calipers: Multi-piston calipers have pistons symmetrically arranged on both sides, which increases braking force while ensuring more uniform force distribution.
