Brake noise
Hey guys, wanted to see if anyone here has experienced any issues on their new G80 M3/M4 with extremely loud (grinding) noise from the front brakes?
So I have a G80 that's 2 mo old with only about 300mi; and in heavy traffic at low speeds the front brakes (I think it's the driver side) make a terribly loud grinding noise when you apply light pressure on the brakes…car has been at the dealer for 2 days but they cannot find any issues with the brakes and I'm guessing they'll tell me it's "normal" for the M performance brake pads…just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced anything like this yet? |

These brakes need to be used hard, go make some rapid stops in a safe area from higher speeds and they should quiet down. Could also need to be bedded in.

You have to clean the brakes. Iron remover and a power washer. 12,200 miles on my car, and my brakes rarely make noise. A lot of peoples do, but it's all about how you drive and keep them clean.

Brake dust is a MFer on these cars. I haven't had grinding, but if I am giving her the beans for a bit, she sounds like a city bus that needs service. The squeals are embarrassing. I probably will eventually swap the pads.

On mine, the horrible grinding noise finally went away after I took the advice of others on this board and did a dozen or so hard stops from 120mph over 3-4 days. I think to minimize the brake noise on this car (other than regularly cleaning the brake pads like the other member mentioned in a post above or switching to different brake pads like some have), is to use these brakes hard in everyday driving
