"Sticky" Brakes

Matt_UKTX · 02-14-2006, 01:37 PM

I have a new 330i and I find the brakes to be a little "sticky", particularly when moving off, or when doing small controled movements for parking. Does anyone else notice this? Does it subside as the break pads wear in? I have 2500 miles on my car, and I've noticed it since day one. It's probably a result of the huge rotors and shoes on the 330i, but just wanted to check.

I also have that problem. I scheduled a maintenance check for it. Everytime i release the brakes it takes about a second or less

The brakes should get better with more miles you put on. I remember that mine were sticky too, but it went away in short order.

my 330 has a little over 9000 on it and the brakes are very sticky, especially when manuvering the car into the garage

Yes I have had the same problem and still do. Please post anything that you might find to be a helpful fix for this. I'm up to 3200 miles now and the problem is still the same. I did take it to the dealer and they basically brushed me off saying that if there was a problem the computer would show it. I would like to think that there are better dealerships out there that would provide an ultimate solution for the ultimate driving machine. Please let me know what you find, thanks.
