Wear and tear is the name of the game when it comes to your BMW 540 brake pads. Your 540 brake pads are made with wear in mind; they are supposed to be used up and replaced. This is because your BMW 540 brake pads work in conjunction with your brake rotors to generate friction, and one surface or the other has to give.

Since your 540 brake pads are less expensive and easier to replace than your brake rotors, it makes sense for them to be made with a softer material. Your BMW 540 brake pads consist of a thick frictional lining that is mounted on a metal backing plate, using either glue or rivets.

The lining of your 540 brake pads is composed of either metallic or non-metallic substances. Since metallic BMW 540 brake pads last longer than non-metallic varieties, you may be tempted to wonder why every car does not use metallic 540 brake pads. The answer lies in your brake rotors. Even though non-metallic BMW 540 brake pads must be changed more frequently, they are much gentler on your more expensive rotors. With metallic 540 brake pads installed on your car, you will have to change your brake rotors more often, resulting in more money and more labor time for you. Of course, if you need greater than normal braking power, metallic BMW 540 brake pads are the way to go.
