My akebono euro pads do this as well (if it is the pads on my particular vehicle). It only does it when stopping from a slow speed in forward or reverse (usually a parking lot or my driveway but doesn't occur with normal driving on the street). When I have time I am going to inspect the caliper slide bushings because they could contribute to this as well. It doesn't bother me enough to worry about it and the slight clicking is worth living with to avoid the nasty dust the OEM pads produce. I really like these pads though I may try Hawks next time around.

Update. While searching for my clicking noise from switching directions, I had a idea it was the brake pads moving in the caliper. Guess what pads I have? Akebono Ceramics. I did my brake job with OEM rotors and all new BMW pins/boots/clips/everything new. Everything OEM BMW except the pads. Yes I love my Akebono dustless pads, but I honestly think I'm going back to a OEM BMW pad. You just can't beam OEM parts for late model cars.

Mine do this as well…its quite embarrassing when you pull up to a stop sign and pedestrians (and myself) hear this raggedy clicking coming from a modified BMW ;(
not 100% sure what brand pads the previous owner put on…but they aren't stock. They have blue backings if that helps. |

Clicking front brakes
After having my brake pads replaced on my 2009 e90 320d by a so-called "reputable" local garage 6 months ago, I had a "clicking" sound coming from the front brakes which grew louder as the brakes became warmer. The click came whenever the pedal was depressed and then a second click followed when the pedal was released. This was accompanied by a "squealing" which was worthy of an 18 wheeler! After having the pads replaced again 2 months ago by the same garage, the "clicking" came back and recently, the squealing started again. After taking it to a friend who is a truck mechanic, he spotted the problem immediately. The wrong pads had been fitted. Apparently there are three different pads for my car and there are subtle differences to the profile of the inner edge of the pad where it meets the caliper and carrier. As mine didn't quite "sit" correctly, whenever I braked, the caliper was being pulled upwards and dislodging which was causing the clicking sound. The second click was due to the retaining springs pulling it back into place on the carrier. Correct pads 1 hour later - Sorted!
The garage had fitted the wrong pads initially and then used them pads as a guide to replace them the second time believing that the click and squeal was due to them not being fitted properly. Last edited by Rednelly; 04-01-2014 at 10:59 AM.. Reason: Not enough space |

Bit of a thread dredge but I'm thinking this is my problem as well (pads).
When I depress the brake pedal I get a slight knock which is heard (sounds like it's coming from the front right brake area. Anyone know what it is, brake sensor? Brake pad slipping slightly, appears to be coming from the front right brake (pads aren't OEM). In this video you hear the initial knock, then I take my foot on and off the brake at the lights (about 5 times), you hear the knock pretty much every time I do it. It doesn't always do the knocking noise either, if you're super light on the brakes you usually won't hear it. Sometime even if you're heavy on the brakes it won't knock. |

From what I understand the OE pads do this as well. I have OE spec (not OEM however...) pads and they click too. I will get the wheels off one day and assess by hand but after researching my worries have been eased!

Lack of anti-squeal paste on the backsides of the brake pads? Usually what happens is there is a slight amount of play as the brake pads fit into the callipers and if you have applied brakes while reversing or even just from driving, the brake pads move in between this area of play and you get that knock sound as you apply brakes. The use of anti-squeal paste helps prevent the brake pads from moving around so easily.

Have you had the suspension components checked for wear?

Not saying that this is the case, but I was at my local BMW dealer some time ago and there was a rather angry customer at the parts department that was disputing an issue regarding brake pads that he had bought for his E90 LCI that were apparently not correct for his car. The mistake that I gather was made by him was that he asked for E90 323i brake pads, but neglected to indicate that it was the LCI model that apparently had slight larger brakes than the pre-facelift model and when they fitted the new pads there was too much play. The dealer did the work BTW, so his argument was that how come did they fit these parts and not notice that there was a problem. I don't know what happened in the end, but I can just imagine how unpleasant it must have been with these incorrect brake pads rattling around in the calliper like that. Lesson learnt by him no doubt, always use your car's last 7 digits of the VIN when ordering parts.
