Brakes Vibrate?

[explicitdwk]

For the last several months, when easy on the brakes, they kind of vibrate and it can be felt and heard in the whole cabin. I was told by an indie that my front brakes are wearing down and honestly it has been getting more and more annoying when particularly stuck in traffic and i have to break often. the vibration happens when breaking at speeds lower than 5mph.

(on my last few days of factory warranty) The dealer refuses to admit that they're getting old and claim they work perfectly fine. So tomorrow i'm going to a ride with someone from the dealership and I'm kinda nervous that they will claim that the vibration is normal. Am i going crazy or can this really be a problem?

I had a very simular problem on my 1999 318i and my BMW mechanic told be that one of my brake discs was warped, he said it's ok for now but also told me that eventually I would get a warning light on the dash and when that happens he must change them...

Explain your brake "feel" concern to the SA; get the tech to drive it, with you in car.
You seem to still be under oe warranty/maintenance, so if there is a detectable problem,
they should R&R your brakes without an arm wrestle, imo. I realize that some dlrs want a
min thickness left on pads before they will do warranty work, but be persistent/pleasant,
with them, or try another dlr before your warranty goes poof.

let them know that your tension bushings could be worn out as that is a common issue related to brake vibration. This could ultimately be your problem.
