sobi6111: Just a suggestion, could you use a smaller picture for your signature? Using such a large image makes reading threads you post in somewhat irritating since one has to scroll 980 pixels to the next post each time. Thanks!

warped rotors would be the cause, the max runout is .004". when replacing rotors on a BMW x5, the pads are to be replaced as well, I would only recommending using OEM rotors. Here is my reasoning. The X5 rotors are warp friendly, say you replace them from some online vender or aftermarket company, most do not come with warranty. If you install the OEM rotor from BMW, now your covered for the next 2 years with parts warranty including labor. If bmw is paying to replace the part, they are going to pay the Labor. I have a customer who always brings his car to us every 1.5 years with brake shimmy at highway speeds. Every 1.5 years he gets new front rotors and pads free of charge. Because he purchased the parts from BMW. We torque the caliper bracket at 110NM and the Wheels to 140NM. and they always seem to warp no matter what. So go with OEM.

Whilst it is very nice getting new discs and pads each 18 months, doesn't it say something about the quality of the parts? I would rather replace the discs with a reputable brake manufacturer, ie Brembo or Zimmermann and fit OEM pads.
If the discs warp that often there is either a problem with the quality of the part or the vehicle is being driven beyond its design criteria. X5Girl, xxx |
