The performance of your BMW 740 brakes depends upon the smooth and synchronized operation of a number of brake components. When all is well in the system, your BMW 740 brakes should bring your vehicle to a controlled and safe stop when you step on the brake pedal. If you notice the vehicle pulling to one side as you step on the brakes, this can indicate a problem, perhaps a malfunctioning brake caliper.

The brake caliper relies on pressure from the hydraulic system, controlled by the brake master cylinder, to function. The brake master cylinder sends a surge of pressure through the system when you apply your BMW 740 brakes, which presses upon the caliper piston, allowing it to move the brake pads inwards to grip the brake disc, producing friction to stop the motion of the wheel.

If there is a leak in the hydraulic system or the brake master cylinder is not operating properly, this can leave the brake caliper without enough pressure to move the brake pads into firm contact with the brake disc, causing poor performance in your BMW 740 brakes. Corrosion can cause the brake caliper to stick, failing to remove the brake pads from the brake disc when the vehicle begins to move again, wearing the brake pads prematurely and causing the vehicle to lurch to the side when you apply your BMW 740 brakes.
