Brake Drying

i2iSTUDIOS · 06-24-2008, 03:15 PM

Do 2007 e92 have the brakes that dry the rotors if it's raining? The '08 do.

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 06-24-2008, 03:18 PM

Never heard of this. . ..

Someone should correct me if I am mistaken, but as far as I know, every E9X has had this feature since inception.

TTG · 06-24-2008, 03:20 PM

Yes, they all do....

When it rains, your brakes removes the excess water on your rotors so you don't have a build but when you need to stop.

Don't all cars with DSC (incl late-model E46) have brake drying? I could have sworn it's been around for a while now.

bsamoul · 06-24-2008, 04:59 PM

it has

I think this is one of the features that is faulty as well. I have the damn brake squeal at 20mph or less and it's because of the brakes. I have scheduled an appointment with the dealer. Don't know if they are going to replace the sensors or shaves the brakes.

My prior 2002 330Ci didn't. Under hard rain there would be a nice cution before the car started slowing down.

E46's did not have this feature it was new to the 3 series with the E90

darkphantom · 06-24-2008, 08:52 PM

to reiterate what's already been said, yes they do

continentalg5 · 06-24-2008, 09:07 PM

Yes it does.

yemski · 06-25-2008, 01:54 AM

the brake drying feature is only activated when the wipers or auto wipers are on

finnbimmer · 06-25-2008, 03:25 PM

4 cyl cars dont have it.

What the hell is rain? And is anyone willing to come over and spray my car with a hose while I drive by and test this feature...

I had the same thing and asked my buddy ( a BMW service tech) about it. He said it's actually the brake pad wear sensors that that squeal. I mentioned it was kind of annoying, and he agreed. Supposedly they've had this "problem" for a few years now. I think that's the real problem with it, is BMW doesn't consider it a real "problem" as it's just a noise and doesn't affect anything.
