NevoBMW320i Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Numerous trips to the garage (vehicle under warranty). Control arms replaced and front brake pads replaced twice. Following the second pad replacement, banging does not occur at low speeds on a level surface during straight-line braking. Noise seems to manifest only on irregular ground. Less noise while braking in reverse, but louder when braking when traveling ahead. It produces a resonant metallic sound, akin to striking a metal pail. The issue may still be associated with components that have been replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NevoBMW320i Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 I have been replaced twice, but I suspect it was not done with the appropriate OEM specifications. I will inform them, since that resembles the precise noise I perceive. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENVIOclev Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 New clips and retaining pins may be beneficial; ensure the pins are completely inserted into the caliper if the noise originates from the brake pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
