Puma Case Experience
I took my car in because my front passenger brakes squeal when in reverse. It's really loud and embarrassing. The dealer took my car out for a drive and were able to replicate the sound. My advisor said they have to open a puma case and I have to get a loaner. This way he has time to diagnose and see what the puma case want the tech to do.
How long does puma case take? Can't they just replace the front brake pads since they were able to pin point the problem? Last edited by ///F80M3; 11-20-2015 at 08:37 PM.. |

perhaps it wasn't the front brake pads as they suspected..
either way I'm subcribed to this thread as I have the same intermittent squeak/squeal while reversing intermittently.

They never checked my brakes. They heard the brake squeal and found which wheel it was but that's about it. That's what confuses me. I thought puma case is when they don't know what's wrong with the car.

I've had brake squeal in reverse with every car with "big boy" brakes. It's just what Brembos do.
Do a search, and I'm sure you can find thousands of threads about it

The stock calipers are Brembo, to include the 135i brakes as well.
How you didn't know that is beyond me. You had the cunt attitude to begin with.
