At each wheel of your all-wheel disc braking system you will find BMW 318 brake rotors. Your 318 brake rotors are essential components that provide a surface for creating the friction used to stop your car. BMW 318 brake rotors are metal discs mounted in the channel of a U-shaped device known as a brake caliper.

Brake pads float on top of either side of the caliper, and when you depress your brake pedal, the calipers hold the brake pads against the rotating 318 brake rotors. The simultaneous clamping of the brake pads serves to provide uniform stopping to your BMW 318 brake rotors.

Care and maintenance of your 318 brake rotors includes changing your brake pads when they become worn. The frictional lining on your brake pads wears away through normal use, and when the lining drops below a quarter of an inch, your BMW 318 brake rotors can end up grinding against the metal backing plate of the pads. The metal-on-metal contact between worn brake pads and 318 brake rotors generates excessive heat as well as damage to the surface of the rotors, which causes brake fade and brake failure. Your BMW 318 brake rotors will become worn faster if you have metallic brake pads installed on your car. It is important to keep track of your brake pads in order to ensure a long life for your 318 brake rotors.
