Swapping Out Your BMW X3/X4 Disc Brake Rotors (DBA Focus)
> Your BMW X3 or X4's disc brake rotors are a seriously important bit of kit for keeping you safe on the road. Over time, they can wear down, warp from the heat, or get a bit crusty with corrosion.

• Rust, scoring, or cracks you can actually see on the rotor.
• Your brake pads wearing unevenly.
Will it pass WOF?
Worn or dodgy disc brake rotors are a pretty common reason for failing a WOF here in New Zealand. Your rotors need to be thick enough and in good nick to pass the test. No one wants to be gutted by a failed WOF!
