When should you change the brake pads on your 2011 BMW 535i GT? It depends on you and your driving style. In general, brake pads last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. Alternatively, riding the brakes and hauling heavy loads can shorten their useful life. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your 535i GT. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers brake pad replacement for BMW 535i GTs that comes with a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty.

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your BMW  535i GT. One that's ready to get you to 200,000 miles and beyond. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal.
