BMW 740 brake rotors are an important component in the assembly of brake system parts positioned at each wheel of your vehicle, all working together to create the friction that is necessary to bring your vehicle to a stop when the brakes are applied. Constructed of cast iron, BMW 740 brake rotors are designed to provide the surface with which the brake pads make contact to stop the motion of the wheel. The brake calipers move the brake pads into contact with the BMW 740 brake rotors, using a piston to squeeze them together to grip the rotor between them.

The brake pads are lined with a friction compound for a tight grip on the BMW 740 brake rotors, producing enough friction between these components to work effectively against the motion of the wheels. The friction that is necessary to provide the stopping power you need produces quite a bit of heat.

For this reason the BMW brake rotors design that is commonly installed as standard equipment includes a series of cooling fins between the two contact surfaces, helping to dissipate the heat generated by the braking process. Excessive heat in the BMW 740 brake rotors can cause them to warp, or be the source of temporary brake failure, commonly called brake fade. Several custom style BMW 740 brake rotors are manufactured to reduce the risk of brake fade and enhance braking performance.
