Front Brake Pad DIY G8x- Fix the most annoying problem on your new M3 (G80) or M4 (G82, G83) 

For reference, the two caliper nuts need to be tightened to 95 Nm or 70 lb-ft

Good video bro, just be safe placing your legs under the rotor while the cars up in the air. I usually place an old tire/tim under just in case. Maybe I watch too much final destination!

I will most likely change my breaks on my own as well just because it is a simple job. And I can make sure I clean the caliper as well. Mine are squealing like a stuck pig now after 15k miles

You think it's the same for the F90 m5 pre lci. I want to try to do it but I've never dealt with bmw just Srt .which I longer own. I'm basically new to BMW again

My G80 oem pads have been squealing like crazy since car was new. After 6,000 miles of ownership, I discovered -- the brake squeal completely disappears -- after pressure washing the front and rear rotors/pads for a few mins per corner...be sure to concentrate the nozzle where the pad mates with the rotor. Blowing out the rotors/pads with pressurized air every few weeks could help too (Results may vary.) My theory is the oem pads are very aggressive, they wear quickly due to the cross-drilled rotors, the accelerated dust build-up of metal particles (from the rotor) fills in the grooves of the pads, and the iron deposits rubbing against the rotors cause the screeching.

so a couple of questions: 1. Why did you switch pads? Noise, dust or performance. 2. Please confirm you had jack stands underneath the car and not just the jack? 3. What other brake pads did you consider? 4. How many miles on the OEM pads? Thanks for your response.

I miss the days of popping the pins and spring then sliding the pads out …. Ugh. Thanks for the video!

Thank you! I did my F80 M3 brakes and rotors before I traded it in and it was easy. This looks a little intimidating especially the back😊.

I'd strongly advise against putting grease on the edges of the backplate. If any of that migrates onto the disc you'll contaminate the pads and that can lead to all sorts of problems: judder, noise, you name it. You should never need grease on the sides of any backplate, and especially not on a brand new vehicle such as this where everything will slide perfectly well and does not need 'lubrication'.

I assure you that if you reset the pistons even a little, the pads would be easier to align the pins instead of prying on them with a flat head. I understand you said the original pads were like new but resetting the pistons would make it a breeze and less chance of damaging pad material

What was this for to stop squeaky breaks or to show how to do your brakes.

Great vid 👌 👍 👏

video was good but u skipped the whole plate pressing against the back of the pads at the end. If that clip not line up correctly the caliper presses against the clip causing the brakes to not work and feel like air in the system . Happen to me i bled 10 times and and abs flus and couldnt figure it out until i checked the calipers for leaks and saw the clip bent

How many miles did you get on your factory brake pads?

no need to move the caliper pins back (sorry if thats the wrong wording)? Thanks for the tutorial!

Did that eliminate that annoying squeak for the g80 brakes from the factory ?

Hi, new to the G80. What happen with the OEM pads? Thanks

Has anyone tried the EBC red stuff pads? How’s that compared to yellow stuff pads?

careful with ur address showing not sure if u care or maybe just accidently had it showing but weirdos do exist

Did these work out? I saw in g80 post they were loud after a month.

Appreciate the video, will definitely give it a try.

What size are your calipers

Bro thanks for this - full send next weekend

and another one

Where did you get the pads?

I have a G80 and the brakes drive me absolutely crazy. The constant squealing is insane. Why did you decide on the yellow stuff pads and do you still have no squealing after a month or so? Do your new pads create less dust? Thanks for the videos.

do i need to do it for all of the pads or just the front?

do you have to put the car in service mode? did you have to push in the pistons? it doesnt seem like you did

Great step by step video! Thanks.One suggestion is to torque the bolts to spec. I made the mistake of not doing that a few years ago.

I have carbon ceramics on my g80, could I install steel rotors and pads ?
