Serious break problem.

[mahmoud al-arouqi]

I have a serious break problem which until now nobody solve it for me , am riding 2008 3.0 X5 and since the first break pads change, my problems start. Very noisy sound coming from the break when the car is about to stop. I went to the dealer and they change the pads, break disc, and the break sensor, one month later ….everything just come up again and the sound is getting louder and louder .

Mine does it too. The dealer told me something about new break pads include a material (don't remember the name) which unfortunately do this noise after a while... my friends x5 does it too... but 1 month is to soon IMO.. mine started after 6 months and 18000 km....

Don't know if the pads are different from this side of the world, but we don't get noise from the brakes after changing them here, and if they do become noisy the customer just returns to have it taken care of. If you already have new pads, rotors and sensor it probably needs to be cleaned and all the contacts/slide points greased with anti-seize.
