It is fairly easy to maintain your BMW 528 brake rotors when you keep up with your brake pads. Your 528 brake rotors are an essential part of your car's disc braking system. The BMW 528 brake rotors are metal discs found at each of your wheels.

Your 528 brake rotors spin in the channel of your U-shaped brake calipers, and along with your brake pads, generate the friction your car uses to stop. When you step on your brake pedal, the force is transmitted through hydraulic fluid to your brake calipers, which move your brake pads inward to contact your BMW 528 brake rotors.

The friction generated between the brake pad lining and the 528 brake rotors is what brings your car to a safe and controlled stop. If your car has organic brake pads installed, your BMW 528 brake rotors can last you for a long time as long as you change your brake pads when necessary. However, metallic brake pads can cause your 528 brake rotors to wear down faster. The longer lasting metallic brake pads give you greater stopping power, but force you to become more diligent about your BMW 528 brake rotors. If you use softer, organic brake pads, it is important to change them when the thickness drops below a quarter of an inch. This will prevent the metal backing plate from grinding against your 528 brake rotors and wearing them down.
