Brake Squealing

[tallen32]

I am currently getting brake squeals at low speeds mainly when I accelerate at low speeds. I do not get this sound when I actually hit the brakes. Anyone have this problem? 335i coupe 2008..

try searching. There are many, many threads documenting exactly this complaint. The long and short - complain all you want. The only answer is new pads maybe even rotors from BMW. You might need to have the orinigal pad sensors trimmed and the backing plates of the pads lubed along the way, just to get the ball rolling. In all likelihood, the problem will come back.

Some people have had success with aggressive bedding and rebedding of the pads. Some people also have consistent illumination of faulty brake pad wear indicators and false service interval data on the CBS. Some have been back to the dealer 4 or 5 times for this issue, or similar squealing during light application of the brakes.

I already typed more than I should, because I have said it all before, and so have others. Good luck.

The bolded IS the only answer, but good luck getting the dealer to do this if your pads/rotors are still in good shape
..and yes I have it and yes and its very annoying.

OP, Search for one of the gazillion similar posts on the topic, and post there. Then I will merge this post with that. Until then, this thread is closed. We'd all have an easier time if everyone used the search button.
