Re: Squeaking Sound
Don't bother lah......mine serviced twice still got squeal occassionally. ALL, if not, MOST BMWs have this issue with stock pads. Go to PML service reception lots and observe if you don't believe me......hehehe!
Anyway, normal lah, you get used to it. This happens mostly to people like me who brake very gently unless neccassry to "ZHUM" brakes......
Go for a few rounds of "ZHUM" brakes session after your brakes are duly warmed up, sometimes that eliminates the squeal.
Cheers!

Re: Squeaking Sound
you might want to check with your CSA first.
i had a similar problem with the 318. i told my CSA about it when i sent the car in for Inspection I and he replaced the rotors under warranty because he noticed some, and i quote, "scoring" on the rotors.

Re: Squeaking Sound
My front pads were worn out recently and I took it for replacement. Noticed my disc were abt 0.2cm eaten in. Was told by workshop that replcing only pads would cause the squeal to come on. So changed disc as well. Wasnt too costly. So check ur front disc.

Re: Squeaking Sound
Silverbeam, my brakes have been squeaking since I changed my pads abt a month ago, and I was told to change my disc as well. I have not done it thinking the pads need to sit in for a period of time. However, it still squeaks today. May I know what disc you have changed to and where did you do it?
