Re: Coming 5 years old E60
Hi,
Need advice from you. Everytime I hit the brakes or hit press on the brakes, there will be this loud screeching sound coming from my tyres. I have change my new front and back rotor (not original though) and my brake pads are still rather new (not original though). My ride is E60 with 19" original M3 rims. I was told by WS that it is sound coming from the rims and mentioned that the larger the rims, the louder the sound. But too me it is not logical as there was sound everytime I hit the brakes. Sound was loud when I was reversing with half press brake. Another WS told me is that I didnt use OEM parts for both rotor and brake pads. Can anyone help me to troubleshoot this??? Been driving for a while and it has made my driving experience very bad.....

1. Steering pump ceased - Claim with dealer due to QBE rejected and push blame that steering pump bearing worn out not consider as steering pump defect.... LAME answer.
2. Cooling Pump and thermostat defect - engine cut out while 140+kmh at NS highway, give me and passengers a big damn shock, able to claim warranty.
3. Complete set absorbers defect, all leaking and replace with coilover.
4. Exhaust system failed, it doesn't roar when i torture my pedal. Something was wrong, so Fong Kim put a Foxy Wolf Remus Quad for me, problem solve.
5. Wiper, countless replacement on 8 monthes, keep on juddering till i found cheap cheap wiper on Ebay but suprise that juddering gone.......
6. Right side brake light, keep on giving error and back to BCC for replacement bulb/check but it does come back after few hours, remove cover at trunk myself found that wire connector oxidize , polish contact point and problem solved.
7. Head light blur, passenger side headlight blur from casing, dismantle and found all wire insulation skin was crack and wire exposed....... temporary repair with silicone high temp insulation tube while looking for replacement headlight. (Bros, contact me if you have spare or you are going to scrap your car soon for Pre LCI model)
Thats all problem i have rectified, so far it was fun ride and comfy to touring with families.

Re: Coming 5 years old E60
Seems like a lot.
Sold my 2005 520 last year with 120k km on clock. Have to change gearbox and found out later that local shops can do flashing of box and extend life... (did it for my E90 320!).
Did not touch suspension and shocks, but changed steering box! Drop arms not change too.
Big ticket item is the gearbox, do send to local shop before letting PML to replace it. Can extend life for at least another 2 years!

Brake drum is for hand brake use, not daily driving use. Not smoke

E60 parking brake is drum brake. Normal driving is disc brake

Re: Coming 5 years old E60
Hi bro
I changed a lot of parts too when it reached 4 years old. Parts changed over a six months period are:-
1) Aircon compressor & dryer
2) Battery
3) Fan belt tensioner
4) alternator pully & idle pully
5) Engine mounting
6) Gearbox mounting
7) Radiator supply hose and spare tank hose
8) bonnet absorber
9) Rear wheel bearing, left and right
10) Front brake disc pad
11) Auto filter sump c/w gasket (change ATF)
12) Update engine dme software
Scary huh? But have to admit, my mileage is rather high at 130k.

These are normal wear and tear items. Change them and put a smile back on your face.
