As a BMW owner, you expect superior stopping power from your Ultimate Driving Machine®. Long Beach BMW has put together helpful tips on how you can prolong the life of your BMW brakes and retain the same level of stopping power for miles to come. Due for brake repairs? We provide brake servicing in Long Beach for BMW models. Visit our BMW Service Center near the Long Beach Airport for brake maintenance, and see how you can go longer between service visits.
1. Aim for Smooth Coasting & Safe Distances Between Vehicles
Practice smooth driving and coasting on the Garden Grove Freeway or the Long Beach Freeway. Your BMW won't have to brake as often – prolonging life of the pads and rotors in the process. Excessive braking in rush hour traffic throughout Los Angeles will lead to more frequent brake replacements. Try maintaining a safe distance with the vehicle ahead of you, and you can often avoid frequent braking when traffic slows.
2. Avoid Sharp Braking
It can be difficult in LA traffic to avoid sudden stops, but doing so can prolong brake life. Harsh braking, where you come to sharp stops on a frequent basis, can cause brake pads and rotors to suffer from greater wear and tear. Anticipate stops you may encounter on the Pacific Coast Highway as you drive through Long Beach in your BMW.
3. Lighten the Load in Your BMW
Lighten the load in your BMW, and your brakes can last longer. Take out any unnecessary weight or heavy equipment on your short daily trips. Greater braking force is needed to bring a weighted-down BMW to a halt. This can strain the brakes of your BMW.
