Not me of course, but a certain family member is complaining how squeaky the brakes are on our 1991 318i. The system is stock; pads are new Ferodo DS2500. The brakes have that nice natural high pitched squeak to them as the car slows below about 15 mph. Is there a way to make this squeaking go away? The pads I had removed were pretty much entombed in red automotive silicone sealant. They didn't squeak. A standard fix?
Wurth make a paste (similar to anti-seize, which works as well) that is applied to the back of the pads. BG makes a liquid that is applied to the face of the pads prior to installation. Both have worked for me!
+1 BMP Design and Bav Auto also sell a product to put on the back of the break pads. Seems to work pretty well. I bought it from them when I bought my pads and rotors.
