Screeching brakes

Midasman13 · 09-09-2014, 04:18 AM

Hi, 3 months into my ownership of SG time machine and loving nearly all aspects of it, apart from when I have to stop!!!

My brakes give out a teeth grinding screech. I've just done 2000 miles and the dealership tells me they are bedding in. They did look at them on 1200 mile service apparently. This is now wearing a bit thin!

Has anyone else got/had these issues, is it normal?

Shout out to Clar, but this does work - I now spray it sparingly when I wash the car and I've not had it come back. My wife says thanks Clar, as do the people sitting at the light as I approach.

Not normal at all, mine have never made a noise ever in 11500 miles.

Same here - Im told by dealership that there is no fix for this however it is a known issue by BMW NA.

Go figure !!

Just to reiterate what Clar says, no clue if there are side effects. I for one did this about 3 months ago and have been squeak free with no issues. I figure wheel cleaner inevitably gets on the brakes anyways.

I sprayed a generous amount the first time inside the caliper to coat it, then rinsed off after a few minutes. After the first time the squeak did come back as I stated, but then disappeared. Now when I wash the M I just spray a little inside the caliper and all good.

I dont think its normal, it was just a bad oversight by BMW in testing as everyone seems to have the issue. I wanted to try this before I wasted a day at the dealer only to have them tell me its normal for high performance brakes. I guess you can try some bedding practices after you do this as well to clean them out.

Hoepfully you can find this cleaner where you are.

I have had this same problem as well as my friends since they day I bought the car. Sometimes it squeals and sometimes it doesn't.

M5essex · 09-10-2014, 10:12 AM

Same issue here on the original brakes. Got disks and pads replaced two weeks ago after some intensive wear on the track. Absolutely screech and squeal fee ever since.

mwlmd · 09-11-2014, 11:46 AM

Just had my brakes replaced yesterday. No squeaking now. We will see how long this lasts...

Midasman13 · 09-16-2014, 03:46 AM

Patrick, many thanks, I found the same make cleaner at Halfords UK. Applied as instructed on Saturday, had a few little screeches after but has but now disappeared! I hope it lasts.

soooma · 09-16-2014, 08:26 AM

Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't !
And that's after replacement once at 7000 miles make for squealing

Cool, thanks to Clar. I apply whenever i give it a wash, but I dont coat it with much, then spray off in a few minutes. Ive had no squeaks since.

my 2014 M5 has 6,000 miles on it and has squealed since day 1

My right rear brake pad disintegrated last week. The friction material was lose from the back-plate.

That was news for my garage, never seen that before.

The car has now 26.000 km's on it.

cassidysdad · 09-16-2014, 09:27 PM

clars trick worked for me too...
but it returns
unpredictable and frustrating
i have 6000 miles
the only irritating part about the car
figure with a 100k plus car bmw could fix it

When they make noise drive reverse slam the brakes, done! Youll be fine for a while.
