'07 3.0si Grabby Brakes
I've had my Z4 for about 3 months. I got it from CarMax. The brakes on it work very well, but they are a bit "grabby". On most cars you can apply the brakes with differing degrees of force and control how much the car will roll. On mine it's more all on or all off. This only occurs in very slow parking situations, so it's not a huge deal. On the road under normal driving circumstances the brakes are great.
Any thoughts? Thanks. Last edited by HEY32G; 04-25-2016 at 10:09 AM.. |

Not sure if this is your first BMW or not but stock brakes tend to have a lot of initial bite in comparison to other vehicles and other pads. I just got an 07 328xi as a daily driver that had stock pads on it and the first couple days kept snapping passengers necks because I was so used to the brakes in my old E46 and the Z. I got used to them fairly quickly though so if it's been three months and you still feel like an on off switch there could be something else going on.

What's the intended use? Street, autox, track, mix? Ceramic pads may be an option, less grabby, as might be Stoptech Street Performance. |

I have had other BMWs and don't remember anything like this. They work great, but like I said just grabby as hell. |

If you haven't change the brake fluid in a while now would be a good time to change it bleed the system as well. |
