Sticky Front Brake Caliper

Hi folks,
A few points,
I am getting a fair bit of feedback through the steering wheel when braking, usually only when i haven't used the car for a few days but i have noticed it getting more frequent, I suspect a sticky caliper ?
Front Fog light problem with water ingress, i have read the posts so fairly easy fix i guess ?
Last but not least, having bought the car from BMW in November, it's a 2007 3.0 Si, 25,000 miles, FSH, my question is how good is the BMW warranty that the dealers rave on about before buying the car & what would be covered in your experience in dealing with BMW ?
 
Lets help with that :tumbleweed:

The steering feedback could be a number of things including the sticky calliper you suggest as the slide pins can corrode or get gummy. Could be the brake piston, or a warped disc, a lower steering bush or even tyres. It probably won't be tricky to find once it's jacked, wheels off and inspected.
Not sure about fixing a front fog but I just swapped mine for a used replacement which was a painless job.
And I'd guess the BMW warranty will be fine if my experience of BMW mini is anything to go by, the only proviso being a possible quibble about wear and tear with brakes/suspension but since you've only had it a couple of months I can't see that stacking up.
Good luck with it and let us know how it goes :thumbsup:
