A warning for those who don't check their brake's

Recommended Posts

I was talking to my buddy from his Jap/Euro Parts shop yesterday and he showed me this from a 540i the driver heard a noise and thought he better get it checked out

If you Haven't checked your brakes in a long time it is best to top a wheel off and have a look

Ideally people should be checking them atleast once every 3 months and bleeding them once a year. I know I do. My brakes help me stop.

That's pretty far gone though, must have REALLY been making a noise too haha.

Technically the cooling fins should be on the inside of the disc? Haha.

errrr yeah its a bit special that one isn't it.

At first I thought why did somebody bother putting an old rotor in a lathe to skim it down to the cooling fins

then I was told the story by the mechanic, and then shown that it was a now a 2 piece rotor

Is that possible?

No chance of that happening on the E30, they have break wear sensors…and hey, let’s be honest the wheel is going to be off for some reason thought a mouth anyway!
