Just got a 2007 sl55 with the performance pack, I was looking around at reviews onthe car and saw the brakes and rotors are a costly repair . My question is , are there any aftermarket parts for these cars? Also , all my Bmw vehicles that I recall had the brakes and rotors replaced at the same time , never just the pads. Would this be the case for this car as well ? Generally speaking about how long do the rotors last ( miles) before they need replacing ?
Thanks for any help

Only aftermarket replacement is racing brakes. The brakes you have are 2 piece brembo brakes that's also used on the SL65 as standard brakes. Or you can go to

And get them off about 25%. It's a dealer in Kansas.

Front's only last about 40-70k depends how you drive, rear can last up to 100k np

You wont need replacing until you get a visit workshop for brakes.

So then it is possible to just need new pads and not the whole rotor and pad set up??

Thanks again

how many miles are on it, you dont need to replace the rotor unless it needs it, there is a wear limit thickness. from my experience you may get away with 2 sets of pads to 1 set of rotors
