Hi
My car had new discs and new pads all round from a BMW dealer 1200 miles ago.
I think they all make a noise, heard at low speed or when creeping about slowly and quietly down country lanes .
They make a noise all the time not when on the pedal. There is just a constant low level noise almost like a low level ring from the discs.
I took it back to BMW dealer and guess what , they all do that sir perfectly normal pad on disk noise. They did inspect the car but they are not helpful far from interested .
So , do they all do that ?
Thanks

Doesn't sound normal. Shouldn't hear that kind of noise when you're in the car.

If they are new'ish and not bedded in right they might have glazed which can cause groaning or 'scratchy/squeal', it might be worth giving them a hot bed-in procedure which is recommended by many of the big name friction manufactures.

Id jack the car & roll each wheel individually , that should highlight if one has a sticking caliper or something catching / rubbing

Had all four wheels off today checked all mechanism and all suspension components , rear Cv's and all brake components , all wheel bearings good all disc are new all pads are new, all sliding well in carriers and all greased where necessary.
In fact all the wheels make a little noise when turning and I would say it is normal pad to disc noise .
But at 30mph there is just a slightly ring and its spoiling the ride for me a bit now . I have not had this before on 35 years of motoring and 35 years of fixing my own cars so mystery to me right now . There is just brake noise but not effected by touching the pedal ?
Its got me stuck for now
