BMW 230i new brake pads and rotor squeaking issue persists on BMW 230i

Some BMW 230i owners report experiencing squeaking issues with new brake pads and rotors, which can stem from several factors. Improper bedding-in of the brakes is often cited as a cause of the squeaking after installation. Additionally, low-quality brake pads or rotor glazing may contribute to the problem. Insufficient lubrication on caliper slides, along with rust and debris buildup, can also lead to squeaking sounds. Some owners note that the brake pads may rattle in the calipers, a common issue in BMW vehicles. Environmental factors, such as light rust on the rotors from humidity or debris in the air, can further exacerbate these noises. To mitigate these issues, owners are advised to ensure proper bedding-in of the brakes, use high-quality components, verify lubrication on caliper slides, address any rattling, and keep the brake rotors clean.
