Brakes Squealing

SeaBeast · 01-19-2013, 02:59 PM

I'm wondering if someone can tell me if this is normal. I have an e92, 2011 M3 with competition package. The temp dropped below 20 degrees F the other night and my brakes are now squealing like pigs at low speeds. I think the competition package gives you a more aggressive pad composition and this would make sense, but I just wanted to make sure. There is plenty of pad left btw and the rotors look okay.

Any responses are greatly appreciated.

Not really.
My brakes squeek too when coming to a stop sometimes. There is no difference it pads between Competition and Regular M3.

Below 0 temp my brakes squeek at every stop.

You might also check to make sure that there is no debris lodged between the dust shield and the rotor.
