WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 50 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW ActiveHybrid 5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, and 2016 BMW 535i xDrive. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
Always precision-turn both sides of both brake discs on one axle.
Maximum machining dimension per friction ring side is 0.8 mm!
Observe MINIMUM BRAKE DISC THICKNESS (MIN TH).
Brake discs of M models (Compound brake discs) must not be machined!
Only one brake pad set may be used up on brake discs which have been lathe-turned to minimum thickness (MIN TH).
