I just complained to my dealer and they totally rebuilt my calipers

I guess I either need to complain harder or get a new, sympathetic dealer

HPFP died at 39k
Adaptive Headlight and xenon bulb went out on BOTH headlights at diff times
One-touch up for passenger window brings it up halfway before going back down
Had front rotors and brakes changed due to excessive squealing
Third Brake Light replaced twice
I've been complaining about my brakes squealing all the damn time and they just tell me it needs some lubrication...but BMW charges to perform that (even w/ warranty)
Wish they would just change my brakes

I think I have posted this before, but I actually had an issue with squeeling brakes as well. Was told by the dealer for months it was normal, but eventually they checked it out themselves and admitted it was "excessive".

Turns out the wear sensor was installed incorrectly or something, and was rubbing on the rotors. Pastic on metal = squeeeeeel. After they replaced this and my brakes/rotors, I have not any squeeling/squeeking for ~10k miles.

I've heard of that happening to another forum member, and he got it fixed as well. My sensors were checked and are fine, but they still squeal like crazy. Still refuse to fix it. Ugh. I'm glad it worked out for you, though!

Thanks! I'm gonna call my SA and ask if he can make sure they check that out. Anyways my car has been there since Monday..it's taking them forever to fix my a/c.

The car has been great.

The suspension has softened up so I'm probably going to change to the E92 FSB, replace the shocks with Koni FSD's and maybe replace the progressive springs with linear springs. Street only, no autoX or HPDE. Hopefully, that will cure my Cayman envy!
