Brake Squeaking fix
Hello
I have 2014 f30 m-sports and for last few days my brakes are squeaking a lot. I used to have same problem with my previous set of brake when the car was under the warranty and dealer used to fix it. I am not sure what exactly they used to do but I remember he said something about scraping the sharp edges and putting some kind of lubricant. Now since I am out of warranty, I am planning to go to some local indy shop. Anyone know what is the best way to fix this squeaking issue on m-sports brake pad. That way I can let the indy shop know exactly what to do. I still have 20K (front) and 60K (back) life left on the brake. Thank you

You want them to chamfer the edges of the pad to reduce them rubbing on any little lip on top or bottom of your rotor. You also want them to re apply, and liberally, ceramic brake lube. I use permatex (PN 24125) and have great success. I also switched out the oem pads because they seem to be more prone to create brake squeal because of how much dust they create.

I've only ever had one brake install result in squeaking which was fixed by adding some more pad lube. |

Squeaks on higher performance pads when cold is sometimes just inherent to those pads.
Also squeaking can be solved by going through a bedding process.

Hi All
I had the same problem. BMW F30 LCI. Large blue brake system (370mm front brake disc, 345mm rear brake disc). It has a factory brake disc. I tried several brake pads. Factory, TRW, ATE Ceramic, Quaro Ceramic brake pads. Unfortunately, none of them provided a solution. A car mechanic has successfully used the EBC Yellowstuff insert on several cars (BMW M8, BMW X6M). I also bought one for the front brake and so far I have used over 1200km without any problems. |

Some pads will squeak no matter what when cold. Ceramics tend to do it a little. More track oriented pads basically all squeak when cold.
