Why is my M235i xDrive Gran Coupe shaking as I brake?

If your M235i xDrive Gran Coupe shakes when you brake, you could be dealing with warped rotors, faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, or loose or worn suspension parts. Schedule a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help diagnosing your brake issue.

How many brake pads are on my M235i xDrive Gran Coupe?

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 M235i xDrive Gran Coupe to a stop, the front brake pads usually wear out sooner than the rear ones.

How long can I expect my M235i xDrive Gran Coupe brake pads to last?

You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your M235i xDrive Gran Coupe 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.

Is it bad if my M235i xDrive Gran Coupe is leaking brake fluid when off?

Your M235i xDrive Gran Coupe 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.
