They told me my rims were making the noise since i painted them black. They put my rims on another 135i, completely stock, and the sound was present. They put another pair of M-261 rims on my car, with factory coat, and the sound disappeared.

Weird how that scrapping sound exists due to black paint. I never had this issue on my WRX when i painted the stockers.

BMW's excuses each time:
1st - The brakes are glazed because I track the car (I don't). Rotors cleaned.
2nd - The detail guy is leaving a greasy film on the rotors. Rotors cleaned again.
3rd - The subframe bushings are broken. New bushings and rotors cleaned for 3rd time.


Guess what.......still making the noise!
