SQUEAKY BRAKES ???

Daytrader · 07-04-2008, 10:28 PM

Just picked up my 135i coupe and am finding the brakes are already squeaking. It was a demo and had almost 2000 miles on it.
Anyone else with this problem? What could be causing it? Thanks.

Try re-bedding the pads by doing six 60 to 5mph safe but hard stops in quick succession, then let them cool down. And welcome to 1Addicts!

A bit of squeal was experienced this afternoon prior to the weekly 'spirited drive' through local mountain twisties. Post sortie, no brake squeal. Good idea, Mike, seat those brakes.

Or just sand the edges of the pads
