Well, actually now I look at the threads my M2-owning friend was talking about, it seems the problem was to do with stones getting stuck between the rear dust shield and the brake rotor. Reversing and braking hard to try and free them may still work for you, as might bending back the dust shield (which is the fix/hack in the case of the M4 rears).

Thanks for your help MrPT. Might give that a try if the problem persists. I have had one rear and one front brake disc stone problem, so it seems that it can happen on any wheel.MrPT wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2019 9:00 pmWell, actually now I look at the threads my M2-owning friend was talking about, it seems the problem was to do with stones getting stuck between the rear dust shield and the brake rotor.
