Hi, I posted this thread in the X4 thread, but thought the question might also be answered by fellow X3 owners.
I just purchased a CPO 2015 X4 recently, with 9K miles!
MSRP well optioned was 60K, Got a deal for 45K - Took the plunge and enjoying every moment of it.
Anyways, I'm hearing a strange grinding noise during hard braking- sounds like it's coming from the transmission or the front wheels- it varies. Tires have good tread, brakepads are still good. Normal braking is fine with no noises, but I have to say they feel very soft- as in I have to press down pretty far to get good braking power. I did a search and found out this is pretty common with the X4's though.
Anyways the grinding sound from the Xdrive system? Maybe the ABS?
First BMW and first AWD car, so will appreciate any input!
