Got the car back today much sooner than anticipated! Brakes are super spongey but they've had a whole change out so I'm going to give it a week before working out why I almost have no braking power lol.

Unless you have some loose hardware, "spongy" is a fluid issue or air in the system problem - not pads or rotors.

So either the dealer never bled my brakes properly after fitment or they never topped up any fluid that was taken out.. either way mine are back to normal, however only because karma bit me on the arse.
After trying to resolve an issue with discs/pads noise I accidentally pumped the brake pedal too hard whilst the caliper was hung up, one of the pistons popped out and when it went in for repairs the caliper was dragged along the road by the recovery Currently waiting for BMW UK to finish their investigation - had to have the piston refitted with new seals and an entire brake system flush with new fluid.

Mine's still under manufacturer warranty but has 47k so I doubt they'd replace it.

I've clocked 43k miles and my warranty expires in less than a week now.. they were happy to do it for me. Definitely worth a shot considering they're roughly around £1100 per side.

I gotta go in for the passenger door lock. As far as wording goes... What did you say just that it was fading? If they give me a reply like "That typically happens when customers use harsh car soaps" should I reply and say that I'm using the soap they sell?

I actually ditched my ///M logos when I changed my calipers to black so I had Brembo logos made in white. Photo shows the contact information for the supplier who I’ve used many times. Quick high quality work at a very reasonable price. Hope this helps! |
