Hello,

Newbie here with a question

My 2019 X3 has been making a squealy brake noise when they are cold and when driving in reverse (only first thing in the morning and kind of annoying as it only started a few weeks ago). I was going to ask my (non-dealership) mechanic about it but then found this service bulletin that seems to talk exactly about this issue:

SITUATION
Brake squeak may occur with cold brakes and driving slowly or reversing.
CAUSE
Unfavorable tolerances of the front axle brake discs.
CORRECTION
Replace the front axle brake discs.

Car has a little less than 29K miles under the hood. Will the dealership fix this as part of the warranty based on the TSB (no recall, though)?

If you’re still under factory warranty then yes, it should be covered.

Thank you.

It looks like I am 8 months past the 4 year warranty term so then I am out of luck (also since it only showed up a few weeks ago).

You can show the dealer the TSB and ask them for a good will repair. Sometimes they will do it for free depending on your relationship and history with dealer and BMWNA.

Great advice. I will try that. Thank you.
