What are the reasons for brake noise in BMW X3?
1 Answers
BMW X3 brake noise can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. New car break-in period: During the break-in of a new car, the bedding-in of brake pads is a crucial part. Typically, after driving a few hundred kilometers, the brakes will feel smoother and the noise will disappear. 2. Driving through water: Brakes may produce noise after driving through water, mainly due to the loss of lubrication caused by driving through puddles in rainy conditions, leading to brake wear. Rust from water exposure may also be a factor. 3. Sand particles between pads and discs: While driving, tiny sand particles may get lodged between the brake pads and discs, sometimes causing noise due to friction. This usually doesn't require repair, as the particles will fall out during normal driving. 4. Excessive brake disc wear: Overly worn or thin brake discs may also generate noise. 5. Missing screws: Loose or damaged brake disc mounting screws can cause brake noise. 6. System malfunction: If there's a fault in the braking system, inspection and repair are necessary.
