The strong quiet type. BMW M Compound brakes and BMW M Ceramic brakes are designed to perform at very high levels. In everyday use and full action, this can make some noise. Here’s how to keep brake squeaking to a minimum. Start with a careful run-in period

For the first 500 km with M Compound or 1000km with M Ceramic brakes. Avoid heavy braking to keep the braking pressure low. Obviously, if the situation requires it: Brake with full force. If your brakes get wet, for example by a car wash, dry them with moderate braking maneuvers from 50 to 0 km/h.

After a while, you can improve conditions and performance, by heating up the brakes with more powerful stops from higher speeds – always minding traffic safety! Chill out! After extreme braking maneuvers, cool off your brakes by driving relaxed – with the least possible amount of braking.

When the brakes have cooled down, brake a few times lightly to clean excessive brake dust off your brake discs. Enjoy driving the most powerful letter in the world and continue watching our How-To Series to get the most out of your BMW M.
