binding

Hello all! I’m having issues with the rear brakes of my 2008 325i (n53). As of a few days back the rear brakes are sticking and getting very hot. I have ordered new discs and pads (as they don’t look to clever) and out of impulse also got two calipers on the way. What’s bothering me is why...

I have just arrived back from a longish journey. The wheel, is much hotter than the other rear wheel and smells of track-day brakes. The car holds itself on very slight inclines but rolls "freely-ish" on everything else (the steeper the slope the freer it rolls). I have looked around and it...

I have a problem with the o/s/f brake binding. I took the caliper off and cleaned it all up with some brake cleaner and put some copper grease on where needed. I took it for a test drive and jacked the car back up to see if it had worked but I had real trouble turning the wheel by hand. It...

Hi I saw someone else mention this too but couldnt find thread - apologies - thought it worth mentioning though. My n/s handbrake was binding, exacerbating a thud on gearchange from rear. Since fixing the brake, the thud is much improved. Anyone with a thud on going into gear at rest or when...
