I can hear it at night time... when i drive around my home town...
as I accelate from 10km - 40km... I hear this brake hissing sound in the back of passenger side.. anyone experience this too??

my KM is running at 45000KM.. is it my brake pad problem? or just car problem that can be fixed under warranty???

[sf90]

I have the same problem.

[flyer333]

just bring it to the stealership to have it checked out dood

[3coupe]

are you sure that's not your turbo's spooling ? lol

[ENINETY_M3]

Probably just the brake pads. Check to see how much brake pad you have left. If you're within spec then just do a couple of hard stops from like 90-40. Should go away.

[Yvette]

not even using brake... it just comes up when i accelate.
basically 2 sounds, 1. brake, 2. cai sucking air
wth is wrong....

it's most likely the brake sensor, it's a plastic piece that is on the passenger rear and drivers side front tire. I had the same problem. Had to get the dealership to shave it down. Don't have any noise anymore

The man speaks the truth! Had the same problem, it was the break sensor. There should be a bulletin up already for this. They just replaced the sensor and the pads on both rear brakes to be sure with mine. Just head to the dealership, they should take care of you.

Yup brake sensor I have the same issue.

[marcvtec]

Just get use to it i have that sound since brand new lol

[Valmont]

I have the same problem too

[KingKong]

oh wow...I was wondering what that hissing sound was when I drove off!!!

[DTD]

yeah, i have the same problem.
i'm going to take it to dealer for check up on Monday.

Bought the car from BJ BMW and service at AutoWest.
BRIAN JESSEL has the worst service in the country... ridiculous long waiting time for any service.

[Yvette]

or did you get it replaced under warranty??
I am hitting 45000KM.. I wonder if they will replace my pads under warranty....

*****btw, do you guys suggest me to go Autowest BMW than BJ ??????
I live in surrey... but I dont mind trip to richmond as long as they offer good service...like loaner, well fixing.
last 3 times I went BJ, I got this 4cyl matrix, camry...... and 323i <--- this I had to ask for bmw loaner......

for free under warranty
and i got a dinan tune 335i for car loaner

[DTD]

yeah, take it to other BMW dealer for service.. avoid going to BJ BMW.
I booked my appointment 3-4 weeks in advanced and specific requested for a BMW courtesy. They told me they don't have a BMW loaner when i was at the BJ; so i cancel the appointment and make a phone call to BMW Canada and file a complaints.

BMW Canada will give them a bad rating if you file a complains. Hope the complains will give us a better services

I hv 2 SA in different dealerships told me that its under warranty if its under 20000km/1year. i have 23k and i got it fixed few days ago, i had this sound since 18k and the file was open then, and they couldnt fix it before, so free of charge.

congratz!

brake pads = my pocket
brake sensor = under warranty

is that correct????

[323d]

correct. But i believe you can get the brake pads under warranty if their is an actual defect on them. (Eg brake dust, excessive noise)..But you will have to pay to replace if it is all worn out (self used)
