Obnoxiously Loud Brakes: Need Advice

f10eugene · 10-31-2017, 01:46 PM

Hey Guys,

I have a 2013 certified m5 with the maintenance program and appx. 53k miles. After 10 minutes of driving, the brakes begin squeaking very loudly - specifically when brake pedal is about 60-75% engaged.

My tech said that the brakes aren't worn enough to be replaced under maintenance program, so he took them apart, cleaned and lubricated them. This did slightly reduced how loud they squeaked but the noise is still there.

I am wondering what options do I have, if any.

The noise is obnoxious and embarassing enough that I would consider paying out of pocket for new pads. However, I wonder if there are other remedies that you guys may know of.

If there are no remedies, what pads do you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance,

Eugene

Carbotech for low dust

Try bedding procedure for the brakes-few repeated hard stops from high speed. Seems to reduce squealing, at least temporarily. You may have to repeat periodically.

Show your bmw tech the reference I posted on the above mentioned thread and have them replace pads.

I fixed the oem and carbotech noise squeal and dust issue by swapping to these pads....excellent and cheap pads "Power Stop 17-1648 Z17 Evolution Plus Clean Ride Ceramic Brake Pad with Premium Hardware Kit Included"

I have coolcarbon front pads and ebc red rears and no squeaking plus no dust !

What year’s your car? I only found these for 13’s. Not sure if LCI brake pads are different than 13’ models.

My carbotechs are deafening, get used to it after a while, prefer the noise to shit stopping power

I have a 13 M5...Carbotechs were pulled out due to loud squeal...and braking power was below oem....plus still had dust....Powerstop zero squeal and no dust

My Cool Carbons are on the way out due to wear; I’m going to inquire in regards to the Powerstops and see if there’s any difference between 13’ and 15’ applications.

OEM pads nearly killed me, cool carbon better but over heat easily, and not great stopping, carbotech xp12 are incredible, double the stopping power of cool carbon - imo of course

What has worked for me in the past is pressing the left paddle shifter repeatedly instead of the brake pedal.

What would be cheaper to replace? Brakes or your Engine?
