Hey folks my breaks are still squeaking and im getting mad, this is going to be my 3rd visit to the dealer.

What gives?....

[ak335]

taking my car in for the same reason

[idyll]

Mine didn't do it until I brought it in for yearly service.. Ever since then they have been squeaky. wtf?

[kyleb350]

Is this after the car has been running for a while and only occurs when accelerating from about 0-15MPH? If so, I have the same problem.

[Chitown-Irish]

Mine is squeaking again. They replaced the parking brake and it went away but I am starting to hear a slight squeak again. Only happens when the brakes are warm and pulling away from a stop.

[MikeyC]

KyleB ... I'm noticing this myself!!! Exactly the same symptoms. If I drive mine for 15mins or so, nothing. If I drive it for 30 mins or longer, then that EXACT SAME THING happens to me. (Squeaking somewhere around the right front tire when accelerating at low speeds)

Do you have any idea on what it could be? Or does anyone else have this problem???

[kevin335]

same here.... mine car dose that from 0-15mph, and backing up as well..
feel very embarrassed when drving around parking lots... but i havent have time to take my car in, let us know how it turn out

[jonzilla23]

A lot of people have this problem. I took into the dealer and they deglazed my brakes. The squeaking went away for a couple of weeks, but it came back. The technician told me to brake harder. The squeaking only comes when the brakes are hot, but I found out if you brake hard you can get rid of the squeaking sound. They definitely need a fix for this cuz braking hard everytime is a pain in the ass.

i just mine in for the same problem today, The foreman said that it is a progressive problem with the sensor rubbing. He said that they have been using felt tape around the sensor to "soften" it up. He's done it to several other cars and none of them have yet to come back and complain... i'm hoping it works for me because that noise is embarassing!!!

There's a bunch of threads on this topic. I'm assuming you're taking your car to Pacific BMW, just tell your service advisor that this is a common problem, he should know about it already.

Read post #7, he gives a good explanation as to what is happening. If they still can't fix it this time around I suggest you print some of this material out and show your service advisor.

Here are a couple threads you can read about the same brake squeal, the first link includes the TSB for a brake problem, you may want to print that out as well:

shouldn't wait too long if it's really bad. my pads needed to change right after my maint warranty was over and it was like$400+

[Joonsup]

suggest to your SA or Tech to replace the brake caliper and guiding bolt. That's what they did for mine and it's been fine for 4 months now. You still get the squeak when the e brake is up but no more coasting squeaking noises while driving at low speeds ie.. parking lots

[simp0man]

I will soon too, 70 percent of the times it does it on 1 gear and goes away at 2nd.

[504Boy]

My service manager told me that any fix would be temporary as it is partially due to the climate and moisture. I hate it too but my Vdub did the same thing so I guess I am just used to it. Plus it's so damn hot down here I always have my windows up and a/c blasting so I usually don't hear it.

[TrojanBMW714]

Same problem here... I was due for a brake job and hope that it would go away. Took it back 2nd time and a week later... still brake noise. It's embarrassing coming to a stop.

[Glassy]

shit.. hate to say it, but im kinda glad im not the only person with squeak problems.... Mine does it when im driving away from a stop, and as most of you mentioned, it only does it between 5-15mph after about 10 minutes of driving. ima take it into SA tommorow.

[mJ335]

It's a common problem for 335s. Has to do something with the brake sensor.. since the performance brakes of the 335 is quite larger than normal brakes, I guess the sensors touch the rotors in a "bouncing" manner. That's why when you accelerate, you hear this long squeeaaak.. then a shorter squeak, then a shorter squeak, and so forth.

ive heard from other members that bmw is working on the issue, and hopefully will come to a solution soon.
