What can cause my 535i GT xDrive to shake when I apply the brakes?

Faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, loose or worn suspension parts, and warped rotors can cause your 535i GT xDrive to shake during braking. If you’re experiencing odd brake behavior, schedule a free brake inspection at a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care.

How many brake pads does my 535i GT 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 535i GT xDrive to a stop, the front brake pads usually wear out sooner than the rear ones.

What is the average lifespan of 535i GT xDrive brake pads?

In general, brake pads can last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving on highways mostly and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan.

Does brake fluid leak when the car is off?

Your 535i GT 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.
