So after about 20 mins of normal 50-60mph driving, my e92 330d starts to rumble as if the tyres are 20 pence shaped. On closer inspection the o/s/r wheel and brake disc is pretty dam hot, no hard braking done, all other wheels are ok.

i know my rear pads need changing. I thought at first could it be a wheel bearing but why would it start up after 20mins.

I'm now wondering if the discs are warped, but again would this become more apparent after 20mins driving???

Tyres are 4 weeks old and have correct pressures?

What are people thoughts?

Parking brake not releasing on that wheel?

I've parked it in neutral and it pushes forward quite easily, so i wouldn't say so.

Could be a sticking calliper, jack it up and see how freely the wheel turns by hand.
I had the same just before xmas on my rear, needed a new calliper in the end as cleaning it and regreasing didn't sort it.
The piston had a bit of rust on, so did a full brake fluid change and rear pads too

I have thought that about sticking caliper. gonna have to get it booked into the stealers

Don't be daft. Jack it up without even taking the wheel off and see if it turns easily. Any garage can fit a new caliper, it cost me about £100 for it and an hour or two to fit. You'll pay a fortune at a dealers for exactly the same thing and probably get told you'll need disks too or something daft

Bit of a update, caliper is sticking, destroyed my pads and the disc

[dest]

If you keep driving it the heat will destroy the bearing too when all the grease gets cooked

sat in a workshop as i type, waiting on a new caliber to be delivered in the morning
