How often should you change your 1988 BMW 735i’s brake pads? It largely depends on where and how you drive. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles.

How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your 735i. Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others.

Your BMW 735i may be powered by a strong engine. One that's ready to get you to 200,000 miles and beyond. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. Plus, ignoring your brake problems can result in more damage and higher brake repair bills. For example, if you drive with completely worn out brake pads, your rotors might start to warp, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components. Our technicians work to prevent more brake damage. Get your 1988 BMW 735i brakes fixed at Firestone Complete Auto Care.
