Hope you spoke to the Service Manager and demanded it be sorted.

 

[HardM3]

:sorry:

Send it back and tell them to change all the pads :rollsmile:

 

[Fat Tom]

i dont have time to take it back but its so bad that i think i must just take it to another BM or somewhere and let them fix as its very irritating.

 

[Sabretooth tiger]

its just me, but I would have gone back, and give them the chance to fix their mess

Friend with a 335i has been complaining about his brakes squeaking for months. BMW cannot sort it out. After a service its okay, then about 1000kms later it starts again

Frustrated him enough to want a change of car.

They just clean out any brake dust with an air compressor, they to lazy to open up the calipers and put copper slip on the brake pads or check if the pads or discs are the problem.

Speak to Sanjay at Sandton, he will resolve the issue. Never had a problem with Sandton Auto

Rather fit a parachute!

they told me they removed the brakes and checked them and cleaned everything properly so they wont squeek. on the way home on the highway they squeeking like a 1400 bakkie, no not even , i have a 1400 bakkie with kuk brakes and they dont even squeek.

im thinking of getting something else as this BM business doesnt work for me.

Same problem on all 335 and 135. Rear brakes squeak. Idemanded new disks and pads. 1000km later sqeaky is back.

Need to het some rubber 3m pads from midas. Use to get them in pe.

 

[Coisman]

It would seem that ALLOT of the newer model bmw's are suffering with squeeky brakes?? :dunno:

 

[cOlDFuSiOn]

I sent my 320d to JSN for squeeky brakes and they cannot do anything until it's due to be changed.. It's not really that bad but you can hear it when they get hot and the car slowly grinds to a halt..

 

[///MFanatic]

Get an ///M Car, they come with decent brakes off the floor :fencelook:

 

[Rommies]

Maybe get a aftermarket brake disc like from Formula Friction.. (Semi Slotted and drilled) with their brake pads.

Power Brake is also a option.

I bought my 135i april 2011, doing approx 11000km. Never once has my breaks given me a days issue. No squeaks, nothing. Maybe i am one of the lucky ones

No Probs with my brakes either..... silent as ever!!!

I'm on my 4th set of brakes in 11 months. This only affects the 330i/335i/135i.
