So I hear this squeaking noise. Very very annoying. ... It's not the pads or the rotors , They are fairly new. And I only hear it after driving really hard. Then only when the car is rolling at about 10-13mph. If you go faster than that. It's no longer there. It's an annoying and embarrassing sound.
What could It be ? I'm only hearing from one side of the car. ( passenger front ) |

I have been dealing with the exact same thing! It is coming from the rear for sure. Everything i read on the forums points to pad sensor. So i pulled it onto a lift to check it out and noticed the sensor was not even connected so i have no clue wth it is. Hopefully somebody could chime in without saying it is the brake sensor because i know for a fact mine is disconnected and does it.

I still say in my opinion that the OP has an issue with Brake Dust Squeaking. Just make sure when you did your brakes, or had them done...that they put on Brake Quite and literally got rid of all Dust that has been collecting for some time. My issue was the same, but I changed my Pads to Akebono Ceramic and really really cleaned all Brake components. also added Anti-Seize to anything rubbing or moving, sliding. anti-seize on wheel hub to wheel also to prevent rusty hubs. sanded all Brake dust build up areas. 10 Months, no more squeaking.

is the noise happening when braking? When I had my 07, I do remember when going in reverse, at a certain speed, I would hear this and the consensus was the brake pad sensor. Was this noise happening before you had your new brakes put on?

Mine is not as bad as yours but that's it. !! It doesn't happen under breaking ... Just slow speeds. A friend of mine suggests it could be bad bearings. But. I'm at lost for words idk. I'm not mechanically inclined |

Anyone know what this shit is? Just happened to me today out of the blue, passenger side. My rotors are a little worn but I've had no issues with breaking or vibrations. The sound is horrifying though.

I get a squeaking (very faint) now when rolling at like 5-10mph in first (only when going parking lot speeds). My rear break pads service due light just came on recently and i wonder if they're related. It's on my drivers side for reference.

I'm starting to think its the wheel bearings. Going to get rotors , pads, and full m3 front control arm and strut kits along with bearings and bushings and change them all out. But that wouldn't be for a few weeks
