Ok friends I know the brake thing has been beat to death but I need to beat it up one more time... My 2003 X5 has major brake squeal and I couldn't take it... Popped off the wheels the other day to see that the brakes have recently been done... The rotors look fresh with no hot spots and the pads look really almost hardly used... So I thought ok I will try some of that either silicone like stuff or that other stuff that is like grease and put that on the back side of the pads as this is supposed to help with squeal... Well, that is already done as well as whoever did the brakes coated them with the silicone type coating... So now what?? Just take the rotors in and have them turned just enough to freshen the surface and buy new pads (Hawk Ceramics) and try again??? Looked at the pads that are on there now and can't really see any markings to let me know what type and or brand they are... So help me out with some input on which way to go...
