They couldn't reproduce the problem -- because it's been so wet here due to Sandy. Then they tried "normal operation." I insisted that they work on it so they disassembled the brakes, front and rear, and "lubricated" them. I just got the car back tonight so we have to see if they fixed it. Don't settle for "normal operation" -- these brakes may be designed to produce dust. But they aren't designed to squeal under light application.

1. Many F30 breaks don't squeal while others of the same model do. 2. Trips to the dealer are reported to work. 3. Reports by those who bed their breaks show frequent failure to fix the squeal. Quote:

I just bought my first BMW 2 weeks ago and for a 50K sports sedan there sure are some things about it that leave me scratching my head...brakes squeak and leave ridiculous dust, steering wheel virbration at speeds above 60, alot of road noise from rear of car, and cabin wind noise. The brakes are what irk me the most as I have bought over a dozen new cars in my life and have never had to bed in the brakes after I bought...might be first and last BMW

Brake squealing here. Like others have reported, it happens during low speed braking 10-0 mph - happens occasionally.
I have no intention of bedding my brakes. This will get settled (one way or another) by the dealership. Not by me. |

2013 335i M-Sport here via European Delivery and the Euro Pads that people are stating come exclusively with ED cars...and, yes, it squeaks and dusts like crazy. Less so when it heats up but it is evident throughout my entire drive from start to finish and thouroughly sucks balls.

Anyone having luck resolving this issue with their dealer? My brakes only seem to be getting worse, maybe aggravated by the cold weather, but happens under all conditions. Thanks for any advice or info.

The good thing is that my car now has 3,000 miles on it now and it's very rare when it occurs. Always at the most inopportune time, when I'm driving people around town and it squeals in a crowded parking lot. But this is once a blue moon now and not as bad as it used to be, so I say let sleeping dogs lie. |

Squealing brake noise has gone from bad to worse to PATHETIC on my 335. Will be taking in this weekend.

2500 miles and squeak is much better but still intermittent.

Mine squealed maybe 3 times early on. In all instances it was very light braking and the brakes were essentially cold (while taking it easy around Germany and Austria). I think if you're experiencing this squealing you're just plain driving the wrong car. Especially if you are upset about the dust. Just stick with less performance-oriented models and have the dealer slap a body kit on for you...and have them swap on a nice quiet and clean set of the more pedestrian "stock" pads. |
