PPL with Run flats and sport rims.....

TENCHI · 01-27-2008, 11:14 PM

have you ever experienced the following?

1) when coming to a stop, the car will feel like its, grinding to a stop and make a "rubbing" noise at the very end when the car comes to a complete stop

2) when cornering, you will hear a subtle wobbling sound.

I took my car in and was told...."nothing wrong with the car" The dealer reproduced every sound/concern yet their only response was, "it might be the run flats and its normal"

is this true?

i dunno if it's true, and im not too sure about what you're saying about #2, but i do experience #1. I was always curious myself, but it hasn't killed me yet, so I didn't mind too much. lol

I haven't experienced #1 or #2, but my car definitely doesn't feel like its grinding to make a stop.

as a fellow e90er with sport and RFT.. i've never experienced anything like what you describe, especially a wobble while turning. definitely not normal here!

Kloogy · 01-28-2008, 01:51 AM

Negatory here too

KWS335i · 01-28-2008, 02:48 AM

No problems here

jprieur · 01-28-2008, 08:00 AM

Have not experienced #2, but I do experience #1 every time I apply the brakes with more than normal force. This has occured on nearly every car I have driven with performance tires.

How many miles do you have on the tires?

turbotko · 01-28-2008, 09:35 AM

I bet the tires are cupped on the outside. I also bet it makes the noise all the time but gets louder when you're on the brakes or making a corner. Unfortunately it is fairly normal. The BMW's especially with sport package run pretty aggressive alignment angles, angles that aren't real good for tire wear. But it sure does handle good!!!

There are some things you can do to combat this. The biggest thing is check your tire pressures. I can't tell you how many times I've had a customer come in complaining about rapid or abnormal tire wear and noise, only to check the pressures and they've been running on 21 psi of air.

You can also rotate the tires every 7500 miles at minimum, more often if it's practical. If you have staggered you cannot go front to back, but you can swap side to side as long as they're not directional.

You could just be hearing/feeling pads against rotors.

vbb · 01-28-2008, 12:47 PM

No problems like the one's you described here either.

TENCHI · 01-28-2008, 10:02 PM

I have 11k on my e90 (its an 06)

I am guilty of sometimes taking corners pretty hard (c'mon, its a BMW!) but the noise/vibration coming to a stop is driving me nuts. I mean it reverberates throughout the cabin.
