I have a 2020 7 seater diesel X5 M Sport.
My front brakes make a horrendous sharp high pitched screech when coming to a stop at slow speed. The brake pads were only changed last year - I took the car to the garage said they said the pads still have at least 12k miles on them but they chamfered the rotors as apparently there is a 'slight lip which can catch'.
Long story short, it was fine for a few days but is back again and it's really quite bad. I took it back to the garage yesterday and they said as it's getting on in miles and M Sport brakes are notorious for squeaking, the next step would be changing the discs and pads. It was a hefty quote and having seen full step by step videos on Youtube, it's definitely work I am happy to do myself.
The issue is that I cannot for the life of me, get certainty over what brake pads and discs I need to get. When I put my number plate into GSF or Eurocarparts it shows a bunch of 'suitable' products but then some items clearly state 'not for M Sport models' or 'not for 7 seater' and I've now got zero confidence that what I pick is correct for my car. I'm likely to replace the vehicle in the next year so at this stage I just want a standard set of front discs and brake pads (and sensor wire of course) to get rid of this horrendous noise! Anyone able to enlighten me?
Thanks!
