Impressed with Car....not impressed with problem..

Just picked up my new G37xS this evening and drove it a whole 20 mins home from the dealer. Sat for an hour before I decided to take it out for a few mins to get used to it. Noticed a loud squeel from the left front wheel as I drove at low speeds, which got louder as I slowed.

Back to the dealer tomorrow morning at 7:30am. Hope this isn't a taste of things to come with this thing or it's going back in a jiffy.

Mike

Congrats on the new car.

But did you even drive it before you signed the papers?

Yes, I took it out around the block for a few mins... Wasn't making the noise then.

Good luck with taking the car back - Dealerships don't work like Wal-Mart, they won't take back a car even if you have your receipt.

Best you can hope for would be to have them fix it.

Its probably a seized caliper.. It also just may need to be broken in... Worst case is a bearing in the hub...

Hopefully it wasn't one of those Tsunami G's seen in that photo after the Japanese earthquake.

Hey Guys.
It was actually just a piece of metal from some shield that covers the calipers that was rubbing against the disc on the left front wheel. Problem solved and now I just LOVE this car. Such a treat to drive it, even after coming from a 530i.

Pics to follow...

Nice! Now you need some Stillen Gen 3 intakes, Hotchkis sway bars, high flow cats, and a Fast Intentions exhaust...
