If you are hearing strange noises as you apply your brakes, grinding or squealing sounds, your BMW 740 brake pads may be due for a change. These types of noises should not be present if all is well in your braking system, and should be addressed as soon as possible to avoid inefficient brake performance and damage to other brake components. BMW 740 brake pads are designed to produce friction when the brakes are applied, its force working against the motion of the wheels to bring your vehicle to a stop.

Moved by a piston in the brake caliper, BMW 740 brake pads grip each side of the brake disc, squeezing it between them to stop the motion of the wheel. BMW 740 brake pads are coated with a friction compound to aid in gripping the brake disc, which is composed of carbon, metal shavings, and strong polymer adhesives.

Every time the brakes are applied, the BMW 740 brake pads shed a bit of this friction compound, worn away as they contact the brake disc. As time goes on, the friction lining will gradually wear thin, making the replacement of the BMW 740 brake pads necessary to maintain efficient and safe brake performance. Many BMW 740 brake pads are equipped with a wear sensor that will sound an alert when the brake lining wears thin, often a squealing noise.
