Humming while gradually braking
When im gradually slowing down my brakes make a humming sounds along with a slight vibration in the pedal. Its nothing significant but its there.
Anyone else have this problem? |

Yup. I get it when braking from high speeds...no vibration at all...but I do hear a humming / growling sound. Might have something to do with the cross drilled rotors and gas excaping or something like that

Brakes work fine, as BMW clearly states the brakes may make additional noise as part of their design. I am fine with it, I mean did we not purchase performance cars? If you wanted one completly silent you should have bought a lexus hybrid lol!

My brakes do not make any noise 99.5% of the time. I broke in them properly during first 500 miles. I have 3000 miles on my car. The distance for front break pad shown on the i-Drive has actually increased and for rear it remains the same. Am I just not driving hard enough as everyone else?

rotors. When the rotors get filled with brake dust they make noise. If you were bothered by that, I would get some replacement rotors with smaller holes. Slotting makes that same noises as I have found from my previous car. The cars you mentioned have brembo brakes with much a smaller drilled pattern.
