Re: E-36 Clicking Sound

["Ron Buchalski" <rbuchals@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Randy,

Does the noise stop when you're applying the brakes?

What brand of brake pads do you have on the car?  If your inboard (brake 
piston side) brake pads don't have the metal clips to hold them tightly 
against the pistons, they will rattle against the pistons and make a 
clicking noise.

My PF90 pads do this, but since they're only for track use, I don't care 
about the noise.
