Rear Brakes Squealing

[PmP]

Right, this is starting to do my head in.

Had my rear brake pads changed some 2000 miles ago and they still squeek every now and then intermittenedly. This didnt happen before the pads were changed so I reckoned it wasnt the discs, applied a little wd40 to pads on a mechanics advice, but that only keeps it quiet for a few days.

But now its not just when I apply brakes, more often than not when moving slowly in say 10mph traffic I can hear a squeek from one of the back brakes each time the wheel turns over.

Would that suggest an untrue running or warped disc? 48,900 miles and one track day up on original discs but BMW said they were fine at the break pad change.

I was just about to say this is not the first thread about your S with minor problems !

Maybe some copper grease or a shim behind each pad will help this? last time i changed mine i got a plenty of grease on there and they are ok for sqeaking, also done this on my neighbours estate car to solve it!

Just goes from one thing to the next, this ones been going on for a while. Mini fitted the pads, do I take it back to them? Its intermittent and that means they wont find it.

I would take it back and if they do it for free under warrenty of fitting the parts and they sort it then that would be easier, otherwise if you can change the pads then have ago yourself with the grease £3 a tube.
