Hello all.

New to this, but hope someone can help or advise. Got myself a nice example M3 Evo, and had it seveced a couple of months bag at BMW. However recently it seemed that my passange rear wheel brack is sticking? anyone else had this. I had the brakes changed also, but after driving it a short while still seems to generate heat through the allow, so seems to be sticking!! rekon it may be handbrake? as I dont use it much at the moment?

any idea anyone.

cheers

a cheaper option is to get your calipers serviced - try EBC in Northampton they will even powdercoat thema ny colour you want and strip/service them for about £60 each!

if the car doesnt move off properly then it could be the hand brake, if they are sticking or theres loads of heat then the caliper could do with some attention, bmw do a seal kit for the calipers which is cheap, can be a bit of grief putting it back together but a mate of mine did it on my driveway! bring it to a specialist who knows what theyre at
