Car Vibration when Braking
My F10 Has now been back to the Garage 3 times for new Discs (done 22000 miles) as I keep getting vibration through the car under normal braking. When they put new discs on they are fine for a few thousand miles and then the problem returns. You can feel a slight vibration through the car when driving too. Anyone else had anything similar? The car is great but this problem is really getting to me. Ive not had a BMW before, my last 2 cars were Lexus and absolutely faultless, BMW is so far proving to be a bad choice.

Check the rotors for warpage or runout. That will always cause vibration with breaking. While my Lexus was great it did also have vibration when breaking and the dealer corrected it by shaving the rotors to make it true again at 40k miles and the brake pads were replaced at 45k.

1 on that! Every Lexus I owned warped the rotors except my 92 sc400,after that all warped.You can have this problem on any car but will have to pay for a brake job.

Do you by any chance wash your car when your brakes where hot?
Or maybe you did drive trough a puddle of water with hot brakes.. Both could de-form your discs because of the big difference in temperature. It's just an idea because I've had it twice allready with my old BMW (e30) but no problems so far with the F11. A friend of mine did have the same issue wit his M3 (e46), he changed the front rotors and pads and the problem was solved. But it also came back after some time, no clue what the actual problem was because he sold it some time later. |

Although BMWs are made with vents in the front air dam that are directed at the front brakes, they can still get hot. If you go through a car wash (heaven forbid) or wash the wheels, you should always allow the brakes to cool.

Your brake rotors could be getting corroded due to some outside source. Chlorine or salts can seriously corrode brake rotors and cause the vibration. One possibility.

I also had vibration issues.. replaced the front discs and got rid of the problem.. but my BMW technician told me that the problem could be that some bearings should be replaced or else the damage of my discs could happen again.. o_O

I have the same problem. Already 3 sets of rotors and pads changed. Problem is solved after changing rotors and pads but reappers after 5000km.
Calipers also checked. It seems they are ok. Did you finally solved the problem? If so what it was? Thanks |

Another thing to check would be the lower control arms, took me a while to find this on my X5

2016 XDrive 335d here, just purchased with 90k km (56k mi) and original brakes were pulsing badly.
Replaced with one piece aftermarket rotors and Bosch pads, and after only a few months of driving the brakes are pulsing, not slowing smoothly. This can be felt even at low speeds. Has anyone figured this out yet? I'm wondering if one or more hubs are not machined true. If that were the case no new brake rotor will ever fix the issue. |

If you have a diesel, how are you engine braking?

It engine brakes quite well, especially around town at lower speeds in lower gears. According to Wikipedia there are several ways modern diesels create effective engine braking:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine...ng?wprov=sfti1 I imagine with the advantage of a very flexible valve train, they could force the engine to operate in a similar fashion to the heavy diesels "Jake Brake" by releasing compression. I drove truck during college as a summer job, and though the International 466 I drove didn't have a Jake Brake (and had less power than my 335d!) you could still get enough engine braking out of it to make it worthwhile downshifting on long hills to take some load off the service brakes. |
