F10 M5 brake judder and indy garage recommendation
Discussion
Good evening, folks.
I took the plunge and bought a 2015 F10 M5 in January. Love the car and the noise.
There is a definite judder under hard braking from speed. At all other times braking is all fine so doesn’t seem like warping to me.
It has 12month BMW warranty so took to the main dealer and they diagnosed that the discs were warped caused by the paint on the wheels which has apparently been applied too thick when they were refurbed at some point. This prevents heat from escaping? This is not covered apparently. The wheels are body coloured and diamond cut - look OEM to me.
I feel it is a suspension issue - worn bushes or something? As the OSF doesn’t always feel planted over rough surfaces… Any ideas?
Also recommendation of an indy garage in Dorset (BCP) for second opinion would be much appreciated!
Cheers
John

Just to complete the narrative…
I’ve had the wheels re-refurbished and replaced front discs and pads. Original dealership covered this…
Juddering has gone (still bedding the discs in but so far, so good)
Very pleased that the dealer stumped up!
Cheers for your messages, guys 👍🏼
