Brake noise when slowly moving

Does anyone else get a vibrating horn type noise when slowly inching forward or back while depressing brakes? Like at a red light or maybe inching forward while trying to merge into traffic? I also get when reversing out of a parking spot!

I took to 2 dealers and both told me this is a normal noise. I just can't imagine the car engineers could see this a positive!

Any tips for this new 2017 E300 owner?

Also get vibrating noise when the wheel is fully turned in a 3-point turn.

In short, yes. I cannot inch forward smoothly, the whole car vibrates. This is made worse on a hill when I am slowly releasing the brake pedal. Also, now when I come to a complete stop with normal brake pressure, I can brake squeal. This is not bothersome enough to address immediately but I will bring it up during my first service.

I can replicate this in my vehicle but I fail to see the problem as it is so easy to avoid it.

Yes, you could find that point on my last 5 series. I haven’t tried yet with my e Class...
