Brake Pad Replacement for Your BMW 550i xDrive
When should you change the brake pads on your 2013 BMW 550i xDrive? It largely depends on where and how you drive. In general, brake pads last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your 550i xDrive. Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Thankfully, when you get BMW 550i xDrive brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty.

BMW 550i xDrive Brake Repair
Your BMW 550i xDrive may be powered by a strong engine. One that can outlast the 170,000-mile mark. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait! Safe driving is difficult when your brakes are anything but their best. Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement. For example, if you drive with completely worn out brake pads, your rotors might start to warp, and the metal-to-metal grinding may compromise other healthy parts. We can help prevent that damage from happening. Get your 2013 BMW 550i xDrive brakes fixed at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We offer a variety of brake services like pad/shoe replacement, brake rotor/drum machining, brake fluid exchange/bleeding, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder installation.

Answers to Your 550i xDrive Brakes Questions
-
Why is my 550i xDrive shaking as I brake? Feeling shaking or vibrating in your 550i 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 550i xDrive come with? The brake system on most vehicles consists of four brake pads per axle, with two brake pads installed on each front wheel and two on each rear wheel. The front wheels of your 550i xDrive put in more work when stopping your vehicle, so the front brake pads are likely to wear out quicker than the rear brake pads.
-
How often do I need to replace my 550i xDrive brake pads? You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your 550i 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.
-
Can brake fluid leak when my 550i xDrive is off? Your 550i 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.
