benpaul12 62 Report post Posted March 23, 2015 On my e87 the rear passenger side brake has a horrid squeal whenever I slowly brake (like in traffic or at lights), the worst in the mornings. Does this noise usually go away over time or do the brakes usually need attention to resolve this? i.e. new pads etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benpaul12 62 Report post Posted March 23, 2015 Thanks for your reply mate. I only got the car 2 weeks ago and it's been doing since pick-up. If the sound doesn't improve in a month or so I guess I'll take it into get checked? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the car goes through compliance they will often change the brakes with crap quality components and they also never ever change the progressive wear sensors. Give me a call in the morning...
