E70 Squeaky brakes
Just took delivery of new X5 35 Diesel and have put on 1000 KM ...the braes have started squeaking. The ambient temperature is -15 C. Is this normal?

I had the same thing. |
i noticed that when my brakes squeak they produce very little (almost none) brake dust. but now that the squeaking has gone, the brake dust production has been working overtime!
correlation? |
Thanks for the advice. Wonder whether it had to do with just having gone through a pressure car wash to clean off all the winter grime.
X5 performing great through this winter in Alberta...its late March and it just dumped 40 cm ! The 4 Zone climate control is just brilliant! Am using the 19 in All weather run flats that came with the Sports Package. |
Gentle use of the brakes often leads to squeaks. If you can do 2 or 3 aggressive stops is a safe location, there's a good chance the squeaks will leave for a while. (note, I said aggressive, not "panic" stops)

My brakes squeak a lot on the abnormally cold days. Relatively silent otherwise. See if it happens when it warms up.

:iagree:

Squeaking brakes on the e70 is "normal." It's been discussed here several times. If you do a search, you'll find the threads. Get used to it. :) :D
