Hey guys,

I have this weird sound coming from my brakes. It's that clicking noise but it's really intense at pretty much any speed with out without resounding elements around the car.

After quick glance from a mechanic he said it's probably the brakes/dust/rust. I have an appointment with BMW service but it's 10 days away and I like to come prepared.

If it is the brakes, is it normal after only 25K KM ? Should I be the one footing the bill, I'm a very mellow driver.

Anything else that could be making this sound ?

Attached is a video, there traffic sounds all around yet you can still hear the clicking noise pretty well. It's so bothersome I close my windows and we just started to get nice weather

FYI It's a 2011 535i Xdrive.

I'm having the same sound on my x5. What did the dealer say? Did they fix it? Thanks

Yes it was the ball bearing due to a pothole I hit, damaged the mag and had to change the tire (it had a bubble). I'm sure he was right but I'm blaming the whole thing on these crappy tires that come with this car. I don't remember hitting some obscene pothole...
good luck my friend.

That's interesting. Just one wheel/ball bearing? What did that cost you? Thanks for getting back to me.
