What do you guys think?

[mhh]

Dunno, what's the story?

[leburpor]

Someone I know *cough* is getting some drumming noises (ie. whooom whooom whooom type sound  ) and high intensity vibration whenever the brake is applied at medium pressure. Suspect 'heat spots' or 'warping' of the discs.

MHH, if you get a chance, would you mind taking a photo of your front brake disc? I'd like to see how the wear pattern is like.

Here's what someone else had to comment:

Sorry, but my car is at my other place.  The dealer will give you a quick answer.

yes, but will it be an honest answer? 

Dealer: Sorry sir, you will need new brake discs all around, new pads, new suspension and while we're at it, a new car! 

[mhh]

I'd hope so.  I've always found them honest.

I think they are for the most part...but need to challenge their opinions to ensure they stay honest IMHO.

yea....I kinda regret it, not fully...but a bit...ever since I bought the M5, 2 x 996 GT3 has come on the market for a max of $120k......

still love the M5 though  ..any thoughts on the condition of the brake disc?

i'm not an expert, but to me, it looks ok.

take it to a brake place and maybe they can grind them (not machine)
