Why is my M6 Gran Coupe shaking as I brake?

Feeling shaking or vibrating in your M6 Gran Coupe 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 are on my M6 Gran Coupe?

On most cars, each axle is equipped with four brake pads — two per front wheel and two per back wheel. The front wheels usually work harder to help stop your M6 Gran Coupe, so don’t be surprised if your front brake pads wear out faster than your rear brake pads.

What is the average lifespan of M6 Gran Coupe 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 M6 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 M6 Gran Coupe is leaking brake fluid when off?

Your M6 Gran Coupe brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.

Replacing Your BMW M6 Gran Coupe’s Brake Pads

When should you change the brake pads on your 2017 BMW M6 Gran Coupe? It depends largely on your driving style and terrain. The majority of brake pads last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. If you drive mostly on the highway and tend to brake smoothly (as opposed to slamming on the brakes), your brake pads may last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your M6 Gran Coupe. Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Thankfully, when you get BMW M6 Gran Coupe brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your M6 Gran Coupe, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass BMW’s standards.

Get Your BMW M6 Gran Coupe Brakes Fixed

Your BMW M6 Gran Coupe may be powered by a strong engine. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. What's more, waiting for things to figure themselves out can result in more damage to your brakes and your wallet. For instance, rotors may start to warp when you drive on worn brake pads, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components. We can help you steer clear of further brake damage. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for the right brake repair for your 2017 BMW M6 Gran Coupe. We offer many affordable brake repairs like pad/shoe replacement, brake rotor/drum resurfacing, brake fluid exchange/bleeding, and wheel cylinder and brake caliper installation.
