Squeaking Brakes and STILL No Solution??

It worked for me

Mine were pretty loud until I did the 60 MPH smash the brake pedal bedding process. They haven't squealed since, going on a month.

ABS...they do not lock.

I have a lot of brake squeal with my CCB's as well. I noticed the harder I break the quieter they get.

Malik987 · 11-16-2015, 05:07 PM

No locking at all. I didn't hit the brakes to the point where the ABS would kick in. Just hard enough to come to a nice smooth and controlled stop in a short distance.

Thanks. I'm going to give this a go. If that doesn't work then I will try the Audi's method of fixing it. I'll do all it takes to fix this.

Fortunately, I haven't had the pleasure of hearing it from the outside. Considering the fact that I could hear it nearly every stop with the windows up (and not to mention music also playing), it must be REALLY loud on the outside...I've driven by construction zones with what-would-have-been blaring tools had I kept my windows even cracked slightly. With them closed, I couldn't hear a single sound, that is, until I started to brake

Cleaned everything up and chamfered the edges. Now it's totally silent.

I will try this method. Thanks for sharing.

I see all these posts were from 2015. I'm not seeing a solution here. Mine only squeals after about 20 minutes of driving. The first 20 minutes braking light to hard pressure there is no squeal whatsoever. But after 20 minutes, light braking (such as coming to a stop light) and it squeals and is so embarrassing. Sometimes I will change my braking pressure by coming in hard (unnecessarily) just so the cars in the next lanes don't hear the squeak. LOL A friend of mine who works on cars (literally builds racing engines etc) told me I should downgrade the brake pads. Even the dealerships in Southern California (where each associate gives you a different answer) said that it's the material. So maybe if it's possible to downgrade that may work then. My wife's other BMW (F10 16' 550i) does not squeal at all. So I read the other post where the guy is saying it's because the F10 M5 is a heavy high performance car... that just makes no sense at all. It has nothing to do with the weight of the vehicle. He does not understand the squeal everyone is talking about here. Yes high performance brakes squeak a bit intermittently from time to time due to conditions but that is not the same as this issue.

I had front brake squeaking with oem pads, switched to Carbotech same issue....switched to these Powerstop pads designed to prevent squeaking and issue has been solved for 1 year+......also way less brake dust

josec70 · 04-15-2018, 09:17 AM

Same here.

Originally went w/ Cool Carbon and now Powerstop on the fronts w/ zero noise or squealing.

Akebono rears.

Minimal dust.

Right, my F10 550i doesn't squeak either. The 550i doesn't have the M5/M6 brakes which is why it doesn't squeak. It's a issue with the components used for the M5 brakes, on most cars it's almost always it's the pads but it can be a combo between the pads and the rotors.

Took my car to a local dealer and they replaced the front break pads on MY14 under TSB and no more squeaks.

Brake rotors and pads are both under warranty. I had the rotors replaced due to cracking.
