JB2 related to the rear squeeling noise I hear from 0-15 Mph??

Siciliano611 · 03-17-2008, 09:12 AM

I installed the JB2H about 3 weeks ago, and the product is A+...I love it to death, but there is one very strange thing I started noticing right after I put it on. I was getting a very annoying squeeling noise coming from the rear when going slow (0-15 mph). I thought that it couldn't be related to the JB2, but when I removed it yesterday because I was going to take it in for service at BMW this morning, I noticed I no longer have this squeel. I know that this makes ABSOLUTELY no sense how a piggyback could affect a noise coming from the rear, but I wonder if anyone else in here has ever experienced anything REMOTELY close to this???

I dont have anything close to that happening to me. I will test some more today for you....

No, its your brakes. Its annoying as hell and seems only the coupes do it. My squeak and squeel like crazy at low speeds, or coming to a stop after I've put some heat into them. There's a huge thread about it around here somewhere.

I know all about the thread and EVERYTHING, but the point is as soon as I took off the JB2 yesterday morning all the squeeling at low speeds is COMPLETELY gone! I could not even replicate it this morning for the SA at BMW, so there was no point for them to keep my car....Also they looked real quick at the Brake Pad Sensors and said they were fine...

Coincidence, brake sensors will be fine even with the squeaking. With the JB you are accelerating to faster speeds in same distance = more heat in brakes = what makes them squeak worse But whatever you prefer to believe.

take it to the dealer and have them replace the pad and sensor, i had mine done 2 weeks ago and it was my 2nd complaint, 1st time they said it was normal

not sure how the JB has any direct connection to the rear brakes or anything. but i get that squeak all the time from my rear brakes going slow. sounds like a normal issue with most new cars today and the 335i's. sometimes it does it and sometimes it stays quiet.
