Blue rings on brake disc/rotor? - Dealer blaming me?

[@ri]

Thanks dude. They did warn me about the Tyres I'll give them that. Thats why i was enquiring on the other thread. Also to be fair it only really happened on the highway at around 110/120 which they didn't reach on their test drive.

Anyways hopefully after the Tyres no more issues

lol why did you not adjust the hand brake... instead of driving it around a few days :fencelook:

after that first hiway trip.. It only shuddered when I pulled the handbrake slightly when moving...

lol why would you pull the had brake slightly on the high way :rollsmile:

Does the one brake feel hotter than the other..might be that one of the brakes is stuck.

And BMW "test" cars before delivery, but only if its a more performance orientated model.....

Dunno Sank didn't check. Shuddering wasn't felt through the steering wheel which led me to the back.

Rear wheel also happens to be the most worn now..it's at canvas stage..

So going to replace tyres and book it in with them again for an overall check and to sort out a few other niggles. :thumbs:

And yeah agree with you on that..lol

Cool, might one of the rear brakes maybe? Did they work on the rear brakes?

@ri, So what was the problem causing the blue rings in the first place?
Smurf writing on the rotors?
:rollsmile:

I had something similar, after having new discs and pads fitted my rear left wheel was squaking and scraping, turned out to be a stone stuck in there. Just be firm with them and dont take their excuses.

Yeah bought 2 news rears as the fronts still have some life in them. And cars booked in on Thursday to check everything out.

Will get them to check that out.

Thx peeps
