Why does my 330i GT xDrive shake when I brake?

Feeling shaking or vibrating in your 330i GT xDrive as you brake might indicate a few different problems, including worn brake pads or rotors, loose suspension components, damaged brake calipers, or warped rotors. Book an appointment for a free brake inspection as soon as you notice a problem with your brakes.

How many brake pads are on my 330i GT xDrive?

On most cars, each axle is equipped with four brake pads — two per front wheel and two per back wheel. The front wheels usually work harder to help stop your 330i GT xDrive, so don’t be surprised if your front brake pads wear out faster than your rear brake pads.

How long can I expect my 330i GT xDrive brake pads to last?

Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your 330i GT xDrive brake pads last, though. For example, mainly driving on highways and gradually braking can help increase the lifespan of your brake pads, and carrying hefty loads or riding your brakes can shorten it.

Does brake fluid leak when the car is off?

Because your 330i GT xDrive brake system is a closed hydraulic system, it should not leak brake fluid. However, if components in your brake system have worn out or been damaged, it might cause brake fluid to leak.

BMW 330i GT xDrive Brake Pad Replacement

When should you change the brake pads on your 2018 BMW 330i GT xDrive? It largely depends on where and how you drive. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your 330i GT xDrive. Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers BMW 330i GT xDrive brake pad replacements, coupons on brake services, and a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty on brake pads. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are pretty common for us, and we only use brake parts that meet or exceed BMW's standards.

Get Your BMW 330i GT xDrive Brakes Fixed

Your BMW 330i GT xDrive may be powered by a strong engine. One that can outlast the 170,000-mile mark. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal.
