Rings in front Rotor

AGAV13 · 03-30-2014, 07:37 PM

While changing my wheels yesterday I noticed that the front passenger side rotor has two very noticeable "rings" on the rotor. What could have caused these? Is there anything to be worried about? I have my first service in about 1k miles which I will have them look at then. I have not noticed anything while breaking nor do I hear any squealing. Any advice or suggestions is appreciated.

How much pad have you got remaining? Looks like a stone caught between pad & disc

I have the same, wavy wear too that loook like rings. ( my set was a take off used part with rings already)

After asking here and else where i was assured its okay and related to pads. My brakes stop quite good and all I was recommended to do was try the brakepad break in procedure.
Definitely have BMW look at it if its part of your service or Warranty.

I have a lot of pad remaining. The car only has 11k miles. I'm not too concerned but I'm definitely going to have it looked at. Maybe I'll get a new set if pads and rotors out of it.
