R36 Brake Woes

[MrWolf]

Appreciate the responses guys.

As per above, some pad and rotor combos are just plain noisy.

Moving away from OEM-style pads and rotors does tend to lead to this result though.

Current favourite for R36 owners is ATE Ceramic pads, with ATE discs. While you're probably looking at around $650 fitted, for the fronts alone, they are very good on performance, low noise and low dust. This is all probably too late for you now, but maybe something to kep in mind, if you're planning long-term ownership.

Yeah I've seen a few threads that mention the ATE gear, but as you mentioned, it's a bit late for me now, haha.

Perhaps speak with your preferred workshop about getting the pads de-glazed, and having noise-reduction paste (Wurth makes a reputable one), applied to the pads and calipers?

Might suss out the paste along with the grease Martin mentioned.

Thanks again -- hopefully I can put this to the proverbial bed in the near future.
