Why is my M550i xDrive shaking as I brake?

Faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, loose or worn suspension parts, and warped rotors can cause your M550i 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 M550i xDrive have?

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 M550i 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 long can I expect my M550i xDrive brake pads to last?

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.

Should my M550i xDrive be leaking brake fluid when the car is off?

Your M550i xDrive brake system is a closed hydraulic system, so a brake fluid leak likely means you have an issue in your brake system. Over time, brake components can wear out or get damaged, causing a brake fluid leak.
