But I won't argue. From 2014, 3 years ago my post on break pad sensor and how it wears and works with pictures: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=981050 About washing the wheels removing the noise, it is easy to test for anyone, get a good car wash with the wheel cleaning option and see if it removes it. Mine is just a theory, based on me not having that noise for a long while now. It may not be the reason, it may be the reason. Don't drive your car when it rains, it promotes rust |

Squeaking rotor / brake solved
Wish I took pictures, (I did but they did not come out very good) but found the squeaking brake issue (0 to 20mph) . I marked the dust plate edging behind the parking E-brake and found it to be running in the groove of the Rotor. I switched out to Brembo rotors which have a deeper groove and remarked edging and no longer rubbing and squealing. Issue solved. Either grind the edge of backing plate or switch to rotors with deeper groove.

Is this a fix that can be done without taking the rotors off?
Also, could this issue cause the e-brake / wheel to seize rather than just squeaking? I've had the squeaking for awhile, but just experienced a brake seize after parking the car for a couple of weeks. When I tried to pull away in 1st, the rear end squatted, front lifted - that seems more likely to be an issue with the actual ebrake seizing rather than this brake shield issue, right? Note: I did not have the e brake on while it was parked for 2 weeks, it was in my garage, sitting in 3rd gear. Thanks. |

Thank you for sharing this. After sitting for several months during some maintenance/repairs/mods a while back my car was doing this in a bad way. I assumed dust shield straight off but it didn't look like it was because I only looked around the outside of the rotor. This makes sense. Now that I drive it everyday, though, it's been squeak-free for months.

My squeak came back after 10 months/10k miles. Gonna try to grease the edges again since I can’t stand the noise.
Awful af design if I have to do this annually going forward. |

My squeak also came back after 1-2 years unfortunately, and I do not want to pull the rotors off to fix it so I guess I'm back to not using the handbrake until I need rotors again. Even tightening my parking brake mechanism doesn't get rid of the squeak.
