Squeaky Brakes
Been driving my G80 maybe 1-2 times a week as my weekend car and I have about 3K miles and my brakes are still squeaky. I have the regular brakes and wondering if this is normal. There is no issue with braking per se and despite driving for like 5-10 miles and braking often, they still end up squeaking. Any thoughts ?

It’s true though. The factory brakes require bedding often to stop daily squeal. It sucks. I ordered replacement iSweep IS1500 pads. Once installed I will give feedback.

I love when people get mad when someone comes to a forum to discuss their car. When people stop doing that, the forum dies. Asking questions on a forum is a viable alternative. It also allows personal experiences that an owners manual may not provide.
Relax and have a drink my brother |

OP "Can someone help me please?"
Poster 1 "Why don't you literally go **** yourself" Poster 2 "**** you for telling the OP to go **** themselves" By the way i get squealy brakes too, the key bit is around hard vs soft braking. If you do alot of motorway/highway driving which involves gentle braking its usually worse just as you get back on to a normal road. Either way it's "normal". Hard braking a few times when safe reduces it |

Yes it is completely normal, the M3 breaks are actually not bad at all (used to have pagid yellows on my Cayman, they squeal a lot!) hit the breaks hard a couple of times in a safe setting and they will stop squealing for a bit. |

The main thing is that these cars are designed for track use and use track compounds where noise is not generated unless there is less friction. The squeaking occurs from "Dust on Dust" I have been doing a hard brake from 100-5 a few times every few days to keep it at bay. If you get them swapped, choose something like the iSweep 1500's or EBC Reds (Good luck finding the reds though stock wise). |

You hit the nail on its head. I usually do highway driving and yes when I exit and use the side roads, I could hear the squealing a lot. So I guess I just have to live with this "new normal" until I have a chance to replace them |
