Frequent stop-and-go driving, spirited braking, and hilly routes shorten pad life, while steady highway miles extend it.

Should I replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2013 BMW 7-Series?
Replace both only if rotors are at or below BMW’s minimum thickness, heat-checked, or uneven; otherwise, pads alone may be appropriate.
