Brakes squeaking

JMAN 21 · 01-09-2009, 04:16 PM

Has anyone been having any trouble with their brakes? I have taken my car to the dealership twice and both times they have told me there is nothing wrong.

I realize that dirt can cause some of the noise and all that takes is some cleaning. They have cleaned them out twice.

I have been washing my own car and have been using a wheel degreaser. I'm starting to think using it might be contributing to the problem. Does anyone recommend an alternative to clean the wheels?

alot of the BMW's have squealing brakes. there are bulletins that point out the brake pad wear sensors making contact with the rotors causing the squeal. either way, you're covered under warranty, take that sucker in to the dealer.
