Do all CCB's squeak?
I'm looking at trading in my wife's XF for an M6. Been looking for about a year now but that's beside the point (I tend to start analyzing my next purchase years before taking the plunge, it also allows me to watch the used market so I can snag the perfect spec and not have to settle for whats currently for sale this very moment)
anyhoo, it seems the only cars with the spec I like are equipped with CCB's and I heard some very bad stories about how all CCB brakes squeak. I just wanted to start a thread and ask is there anyone who drives their car really hard or uses it for the occasional track day and their CCB's don't squeak? Are there any brake pads for CCB's that don't squeak?? I have afew friends with ferrari's and they can stop the squeaking with a few hard stops but it seems for some reason this doesn't remedy the BMW CCB's and it seems like everyone on CCB's squeals like a pig. PS- whats the deal with everyone specc'ing their car without full leather btw, it seems like its really hard to find full leather cars on the used market. From the forum it seems like this option is a must although a small fraction of cars have this option (and these are well spec'd out cars with premium paint, comp package, bang'olufsen, etc) |

I had the CCB retrofitted on my F80, BMW says you don't have to bed the pads in which I found strange with it being a 6 and 4 pot system .After doing a lot of research I decided to bed mine in as the general opinion was that the discs and pads needed to be married to put a nice adhesion layer on the disc, since I done that they have never squeaked and the CCBs on this car have been the same.
BMW M brakes have always been a let down, but this new breed of CCB is what the M cars should be equipped with as standard, no noise no vibration and no brake dust. Adhesion layer on disc |

mine do squeak horribly, to the effect it can be deafening in town driving coasting at low speeds. I cannot bear it anymore. Any suggestion how we can rid of this shite?

A bummer though as all the best spec cars have CCB's, and at this point i'm pretty much avoiding CCB's |

I also have had this problem and I have 'solved' it by doing 2 things:
1- not leaving the handbrake on for an extended period of time when parked [eg overnight] as I think it builds a layer on the pads 2- rinsing the discs with water from a hose pipe occasionally [when they are cold vs warm!] I did also try bedding them in with a hard braking session/s but the squeal returns after some heavy town driving. |
