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.

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.

 

hope the problem gets fixed

 

Can they at least give him store credit???

 

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.

 

post pics!

 

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...

Here's my new G....
2011 G37xS Sedan, White, Hi-Tech, Premium.

 

What color inside?

 

Looks like Stone to me.

 

Yup, clearly.

 

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