What causes severe wear on the rear brake pads of the new BMW 3 Series?
1 Answers
The rate of wear is primarily related to the material of the brake discs and brake pads, so uneven material composition of the brake pads could be one possible cause. Below are the standard guidelines for replacing brake pads: 1. Thickness: Normal brake pads are about 10mm thick, and they should be replaced if they wear down to below 6mm. 2. Noise: If unusual noises frequently occur during braking, it indicates severe wear and the need for replacement. 3. Pedal feel: When brake pads are severely worn, their braking efficiency decreases, leading to a weak braking response, which means the pads should be replaced promptly.
