Question from a Noob about E63 Brake squeal...
So I picked up my 2007 artic white fully loaded E63 in December of last year and absolutely LOVE IT!! I paid for the CPO and they replaced the front pads for me under CPO.
Here is the kicker... they never replaced the rotors!! They said they were over the wear limit and there was no need. I have raced supra's and vipers for years and have ALWAYS replaced rotors when I replaced the pads. Especially on floated rotors. Any experts opinions on this!?!
Also... I have been getting HORRIBLE squeal from my passenger right rear brake. I took it into them and they said they were glazed and recommend replacing. I said " I JUST paid to have it CPO'd... why was that not covered!?!" they stated that the pads and rotors were not to the wear point. I just came across the DTB 211.077 P-B-42.10/76 that says the new pads should be put on for squeals regardless of mileage. It goes in first thing Monday but has anyone else done this, and did it cure the problem!?!? i want them to replace the rotors too back there if they put in new brakes as well....
anyone... anyone.. bueller?!?!

From: PHX/PIE/OMA ---> Yes, all three
E55 then E63, now back to an E55
I would also like to know what to do --
I believe it unfair to me to have to buy new pads when there is plenty of life left....
I also don't believe brakes on a 95 thousand dollar car should be making these noises.....
I should not have to deal with this, nor do I have the time
This is one of only two complaints I have about the 63
Other being "fuel range" becoming pump icon - stupid.....
