Why is my 535d xDrive shaking as I brake?

Feeling shaking or vibrating in your 535d 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 does my 535d xDrive have?

It’s common for vehicles to have four brake pads per axle — two on each front wheel and two on each back wheel. Since the front wheels tend to put in more work when bringing your 535d xDrive to a stop, the front brake pads usually wear out sooner than the rear ones.

How long can I expect my 535d xDrive brake pads to last?

You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your 535d xDrive can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.

Should my 535d xDrive be leaking brake fluid when the car is off?

Your 535d xDrive has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.
