    Hey all! Hoping the wealth of knowledge on here may be able to shine some light on the confusion that i've found myself in, when trying to sort out the front brakes on my 2013 F30 330d. It's an M-Sport (options 337, 704 and 715). It does not have the 'blue' M brakes. The problem: there is a...
  2. BMW 3 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 3 Series
    Hello all. I have a 2015 F30 M Sport & a few weeks ago during bad weather I started to experience what I would describe as a loss of power/hesitation when cruising along at over 50mph on the motorway. It would last only a couple of seconds with no loss of speed just a feeling of loss of power. I...

    Hi guys, I have the abs and traction lights showing on the dash so I plugged in a diagnostic tool which said there was a fault but not what was causing it. So I checked the live data and it wasn't showing a speed rating for the rear right side. So I changed the bearing and sensor but still no...

    Hi all, Owned the car less than a couple months. The last couple of days my rear right disc has been getting really hot and smelling like burning pads after I’ve driven her 10/20 miles. I had the wheel and calliper off today to check the calliper, as I’ve had this issue before on an older car...

    Hi guys, I just bought a 420iX, with 24,000 miles. Super happy with it. Anyway, there is service history in the idrive, however I have noticed the front brakes are squeaking, so I figured the front brake pads may need changing. However in the service area of the idrive, it has a green "okay"...
  9. BMW X Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of X Series
    Hi, I have a 2015 X3 which has an issue with the rear brakes getting hot, even after a short drive (such as 5 minutes of driving through town). The rear right (driver’s side) will be too hot to touch. The rear left will be hot, but you can just about keep your hand on the disc without burning...

    Hello, I'm a new member but I've been a long time BMW owner. I currently drive a 2010 BMW 116d Sport E81 with 76k which I bought really cheap with the plan of selling it on. Because of it's great condition I've decided to keep it. My plan is to get a remap at Darkside Developments but first I...

    My car has developed a clear and discernible knocking noise on very low speed braking, such as when releasing and re-applying the brakes when in heavy stop start traffic (which for me is daily). It even makes this noise just when the steering wheel is turned just slightly when the car is...

  13. BMW 3 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 3 Series
    Hi, I have a vibration when I brake. I took both the front brakes apart and cleaned everything to make sure everything was fitted correctly. I removed the disc and cleaned the hub etc to make sure everything was fitted ok as well. However, when I did this I noticed that the discs have lots of...

    Hi all, I've got a 98 318i, completely original, and I'm looking at changing out the rear axle (subframe, trailing arms, control arms, discs & calipers, spring mounts etc..) as one unit from a breaker. Currently I've only got drums on the rear and some rusted in, broken abs sensors, so the...

    Good Afternoon :) I picked up my baby just before xmas, and have covered over 1,000 miles already! I'm in love, however I'm thinking I need to upgrade the breaks, not for aesthetic reasons, for performance. I've changed from a focus ST (2l petrol - 250bhp), and it just feels like the...

  20. BMW 3 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 3 Series
    Hi Everybody, Picked up my first BMW last month. I remember thinking how firm the brake pedal was, but I was coming from smaller, single-piston calipers to the 4 pot M-Sport brakes, so thought this must be normal. They started to bite as soon as the lightest contact was made with the pedal and...
