M3 brake disc sound
I bought my 06 M3 about 5 weeks ago. I was going to buy the 335...but personally didnt like the interior no stones~~
yesterday while driving, i heard some weird sound from my rear right tire. It sounded like there was a little stone stuck in the brake disc, but im not 100% sure. I had that b4 like almost 2 weeks ago. And i checked the tire, i saw nothing stuck in there, so i kept driving. At about 50 mph, i can heard something sounds like a little rock or soemthing dropped off from my tire, and the sound went away with that too. Did any1 experience that b4? Should I ask my dealer to check what's going on cuz it happened twice in 3 weeks! Another question for Californians~is it legal to turn on fog light even if there's no fog?? Please ignore my grammar mistakes Second post, still trying to c how to post my pictures |

I have a year old M3 and have suffered with periodical noise from the rear disk that like you say 'sounds' like a stone; my dealer informs me that this is quiet common (LOL) and that it is due to brake dust deposit/small stones becoming lodged behind the disc shield....i do seem to get it more on long runs or the hot weather (ie the short summer in the UK or my annual trip to the Le Man 24 in France). it does clear itself relatively quickly tho..
i hope that you enjoy your M3 as much as i have enjoyed mine for the last year... great colour mate, i wanted the grey but did such a good deal on pre-speced car that i got a CS version in blue. |

As far as the fog lights go, I got pulled over in California once for having my fog lights on. I did not get a ticket, though the experience pissed me off enough that I researched the CA laws on the subject. I see dozens of cars every day with them on! The fog lights in the M3 are 55 watt driving lights for street use and are perfectly legal. Anything over 55 watts are considered for off road use (like those found on overhead light bars on pickup trucks).
