Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

What is the brake rotor diameter for the 2009-2015 BMW 760i?

The front brake rotors for the 2009-2015 BMW 760i have a diameter of 374mm, while the rear brake rotors measure 370mm. These dimensions are specific to the high-performance braking system used in this model.

What type of brake pads are recommended for the BMW 760i?

The BMW 760i is equipped with high-performance ceramic brake pads as standard. These pads are designed to handle the vehicle's weight and power, providing superior stopping power and reduced brake dust. Genuine BMW brake pads are recommended for optimal performance and safety.

How often should the brake fluid be replaced on a BMW 760i?

BMW recommends replacing the brake fluid every 2 years or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is crucial for maintaining the hydraulic braking system's efficiency and preventing moisture buildup, which can lead to brake failure.

What is the recommended brake pad thickness for replacement?

The minimum recommended brake pad thickness for the BMW 760i is 3mm. If the pads are worn below this thickness, they should be replaced immediately to ensure safe braking performance and avoid damage to the brake rotors.

Can I use aftermarket brake components on my BMW 760i?

While aftermarket brake components may be compatible, BMW strongly recommends using genuine OEM parts. Aftermarket parts may not meet the same performance and safety standards, potentially compromising braking efficiency and voiding the vehicle's warranty.
