Akebono = no more squeaking!
I got so tired of the squeaking I finally changed the pads on the front.
Before squeak on first 1-2 times coming to full stop when its humid .. now its perfect! So relieved.. Besides fixing the noise, the car comes to stop and off a stop much, much smoother than before .. it feels like a high-class, pleasurable car to drive now. SO happy.. If you got squeaky brakes, or want smoother braking feel (=less BMW brake pad 'bite) then you can try this.. Akebono EUR1504 for 528i,520i EUR1409 for 535i .. not sure about 550i |

You're in luck - eur1409 fit 550i, and should 650igc 650i etc.
see here: http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...s&dtab=Reviews I got at rockauto.com for 80+36 shipping .. really good, didn't have to even bother with asking tirerack for a quote and wire if they don't take credit card They have eur1409 too: http://www.rockauto.com/dbphp/x,cata...O_EUR1409.html But you have confirm this, i just know know EUR1504 is fitted snug and well on my non-high speed brake 528i. Also this is useful to check your VIN .. turn out I been looking at realoem wrong all this time, the HK 528i is actually a 530i according to the official VIN ![]() http://www.rubmw.ru/vincode/eng/ You can find the VIN on every body panel and windshield, but I was dumb and opened the front to find it under the hood |

![]() I am considering brake pads not for performance but just to avoid brake dust on my liquid black 356s ![]() PS. To fix all the deficiencies on the F10, just switch to the F06 ![]() ![]()

Nice..
You're right I see a lot of the white M3 .. but not a frozen one! How long will you keep this, and what is the next color on your menu? ![]() I did cold brake in very wet conditions on start ... non noise except very faint grabbing vv. minor high pitched noise - can't tell if from front or back so I take this as 100% fixed. If I can determine the backs are responsible for this very minor noise, then may change backs to softer brand when they are done.. Case closed. ![]() ![]() |

I am amazed the wrap is such a nice color..it is really very hard to do.just as good as the paint jobs it seems..previously the frozen whites were just matte whites. It seems vibrant colors are better than c. concepts.

They all can order the same paper. Just 3M satin pearl white. The difference between satin and matte is that satin is a bit more reflective than matte. So the pearl white really stands out.

Grim... Did you also change rotors when you change pads? Are you concerned about the different compounds? Just received my pads and am wondering whether I should change rotors as well.......

no i didn't. you shouldn't bother either, you car is NEW
![]() not like they have any new cool aftermarket rotors to try, until that time don't even bother scrubing the rotors or anything, it cleans itself! .. can reuse sensor etc. it arrived? enjoy.. ![]() ps. on cold, cold stop in super humid, i can get a faint noise from the rear - but not that front, they are unsqueakable now! |
