Break Squeal
Hey everyone.
Does anyone else have brake squeal on the GP? Mine squeal during normal low speed braking.
My wife's 2013 JCW brakes never squeal, nor did the brakes on the 2010 Clubman we used to own.

Mine squeal occasionally... read the gp addendum to the owners manual... they say they're supposed to squeal... true...

Track oriented brakes often squeal. No need to be surprised. It's a sign that it's good stuff.

Squeal? Yes. Typically at slower speeds before they've warmed up. I started noticing it after some track days. After getting a new set of pads and rotors, the squealing stopped.

Actually, mine says "functional noises", made me laugh the first time I read it!

My GP2 brakes squeal every time I back it out of the garage. Love the confused look from the neighbors!

Thanks. I thought it might be a GP traight. Functional Noise sounds good to me.
