i wrote at the beginning of this thread. I just wanted to add that my squeak started around 65 miles, so it's definetely a factory "feature"

I have got a MCS and it whistling at 65 mph and above. I had a MC before and this did the same the common thing which it might be is the wheels which are the R90 split rims but i not sure

. Has anyone else got or had this problem? It has been into the dealer an they have said they can't find anything. Great!

When I first got my Cooper S I noticed the brakes were super loud... Not only that, but the pads produced a lot of dust too... I decided to fix both problems at once and got new brake pads... I got Delta Plus pads from Giga's, but I don't know if they are available outside of Japan... I'll tell you this though, they made a heck of a difference! Best upgrade I've done so far! No noise, better stopping power and almost no dust!!!

I got the pads at Mini Delta
