The brakes on my new M4 new keep squealing

ManitouX5 · 09-13-2024, 10:46 PM

The brakes of my new M4 competition keep squealing, especially at low speed, at my first inspection at the dealer I was told that it is normal for this type of vehicle, that even if I bought a Porsche it would do the same?

it is quite annoying for such a beautiful car.

I don't know what to do anymore, it still squeals?

Pads, pads, pads. U need to change the pads to get rid of the brake dust and noise. Ton of posts about this...

Yes I forgot the damn brake dust too, do you have any pads to suggest?

I am still on stock pads and share the same complaint with you and 100s of others. If you do a quick search you will find ton of suggestions. I just keep washing it. Lol. Plus I don't daily mine so it doesnt bother me a ton, but I hear you for a 100k car, why is it so noisy?? 😆

EBC red (if you can find them) or iSweep 1500/2000 seem to be the most popular.

CycleSi · 09-14-2024, 05:16 PM

Same for me here in the UK.

Fitted iSweep 1500 front & rear and now there is zero squealing and virtually no dust.

Sparky_12 · 09-14-2024, 05:27 PM

Yes to what others have said - iSweep 1500 or EBC red. I won’t see my M3 until November and have already picked up a set of the iSweeps. Totally worth it IMO.

I see a lot of isweep pads , expensive but pay to play

CJ421 · 09-15-2024, 04:07 AM

No-cost remedy: do several repeated hard stops and the noise should go away.

get the EBC red or yellow, both will severely lower the squeaking sound

808Gsxfknr · 09-16-2024, 05:03 AM

Who has the isweep or ebc in stock? Looking to purchase.

gsrbri · 09-16-2024, 11:01 PM

Read my post a few posts up (EBC red noise). Should be pretty easy to get the stock pads quiet. Sometimes it just takes an inspection (by you) and a bit of brake housekeeping.

The dealer will tell you that it’s “normal” and won’t fix it. Both my M Sport brake 540i and M2 have had low-speed brake noise that I fixed myself. No, you don’t need to change pads.

Good luck! 👍

Still have to deal with the horrible brake dust though...

SLE3PER · 09-17-2024, 09:38 AM

Isweep 1500 for OEM bite and super low dust

Isweep 2000 for more bite than OEM and low dust

Hit up RGSport for your Isweep needs. Fast shipping. I got the Isweep 2000 for when my car gets delivered. Good luck!

Diesel power · 09-19-2024, 08:21 AM

I just hit 2,000 miles on my car and the breaking was squealing pretty bad. It's a daily and gets mostly light braking so I guess it had built up a glaze. I went to the industrial park and gave it a couple of big 50-0 stops and the squeaking is gone. I still might go to iSweeps or EBC's for the dust, but I think the squeak is manageable.

That'll last for a few weeks and then it will be back. If you can deal with the dust, it is effective and cheap.

Personally I couldn't deal with the dust and went to iSweep 2000's and love them.

Diesel power · 09-20-2024, 10:25 AM

I know that, so like you said it's either a maintenance thing or a pad change.I might still do the pads for the dust alone, but that's not for everyone so just giving an option.

I was just thinking of you today as I was cleaning my rims. I was like “I need to listen to decaf and get these ****ing brake pads.” lol

kgelfen360 · 09-20-2024, 11:08 PM

The dust is what killed me. I got iSweep as well
