2012 c63 brake problem
Hi everyone, i just bought a new 2012 c63 coupe, it's still in break-in period. i have been driving for about a week and about 600km now. i have a question, sometimes when i step on the brake, it will make a very very high pitch sound, but not everytime. and when i park my car in my garage after work, there is a weird smell coming from the back tires. its still in the break-in period, i never go over 3krpm or go faster than 130km/h. is this normal or the break has some problem?

my wife bananas! :D
mercedes calls this grazing the brakes... search for it.. many threads on this.
other people can jump in with their pov for the smell... i would guess its just your rear tires getting chewed up. C63s are notorious for eating up rear tires

same ! normal ! they recommended is hit the brakes really hard from 70 or so on an empty road .. not gonna lie, it did work ! for 2 days or so ! its weird but give it a try. as for the smell, if its not from the tires cause ur driving ur baby like a maniac :P, then its probably a layer of coating manufacturers put on the car's underbelly .. this will burn off the first few hundred miles which is normal ! break in basically
