What is causing my 535d xDrive to shake when I brake?

Your 535d xDrive could shake when you brake due to worn brake pads or rotors, warped rotors, loose or worn suspension components, or faulty brake calipers. You can always schedule a free brake inspection at the first sign of strange brake behavior.

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 should my 535d xDrive brake pads 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 brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.

Brake Pad Replacement for Your BMW 535d xDrive

How often should you change your 2016 BMW 535d xDrive’s brake pads? It largely depends on where and how you drive. The majority of brake pads last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles.

Your BMW 535d xDrive may be powered by a strong engine. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal.
