Your BMW 528i brakes are probably a disc braking system, which means they consist of brake pads, brake rotors, brake calipers, a master cylinder, and various brake hoses and lines that convey hydraulic brake fluid.

There are many built-in warning signs that tell you when there are problems with your 528i brakes. Your brake pedal may either become soft (easy to push down to the floor with minimal braking response) or hard (resisting pressure).
