Re: My F30 Mod today
guys need your help and advice,
is it normal after fitting 19' rims when you brake especially when car just starts, there is a squeaking/ 'wong' wong' sound, which goes away after the car has been driven for 20 mins....but after stopping for an hr and driven again, the brakes sounds return...the tyre shop says its normal for bmw cuz of brakes and after fitting 19'..
what to do?

Re: My F30 Mod today
Is urs a cast rim? I had this prob with my old E90 using Taiwan rims and breyton(both cast rim). Had changed at least 5sets of rim to attest that. However BMW original rim and forged rim are all good. I dunno if BMW original cast rim are form flowing cast or not but I'm getting bbs(form flowing cast) for my current ride. Really hope no morning screeching...

Re: My F30 Mod today
The "Wong Wong" sound is really very loud from my experience. Even if u blast music in the car u can still hear the sound inside the cabin. Or simply put, the "wong" sound is almost having the loudness of our honk. Lucky thing is it will go off after maybe 10mins when the car is hot.

Re: My F30 Mod today
For the benefit of all that wanna change rim. Maybe I will share my past encounter in more detail.
After getting the sound, i made an appointment with pml only to hear that they claim i have changed to aftermarket rims. I tot it was bullshit initially and blast off thinking its another pml "powerful smoke-bomb after sales service again". I remember the pml guy call charlie mentioned on the material and composite used on Original Rim hence muting the sound/vibration. Next I went after the rim distributor and try to make a claim. They were good and let me test a new rim, as expected it gave the same sound the next day morning. Determined to retify the horrendous sound, I spent another 1k odd to change all original brake pads and brake disc. Again it didnt work even after i run in the brakes.
Knowing i have done almost everything except changing back to original rim. I went for the plunge and bought M rim 18" with new tyres. Voila and it worked... more story goes on till I decided to give a try again on aftermarket rim but this time full forge rim 19". It went well too.. Long and tedious way of knowing how the sound came from.....

Re: My F30 Mod today
oem bmw wheel (ie: original m 18" rim) = no problem
19" full forged rim = no problem
cheapo rim material = got problem
is that the final conclusion?
