BRAKES on me bmw m3

[BENZO 19 16V]

well just pop 2 see a mate, when my car felt slow, and steering wheel was goin stiff, so turn round and headed back home,

upon i had a quick check of all wheels 2 see what heat was given off, were i found out that the passenger side was very hot,

what is the issue here brake pads? or sumthing more, unable to check till morning light comes,

i thought that a hot wheel indicates bearing problem?

the disc was very hot not wheel sorry

sounds like the caliper is binding on, maybe free up and grease the sliders

its an easyish job and common, you may need a bit of a lever though to get them shifting

well i did sum quick clean and lube up again on piston, and push it back in again seem to fix it at mo, but dics still running a lil warmer than the other disc, but doesnt seem to be locking on,

Maybe the disc is warped causing it to run on the pads heating it up?

it could be a sluggish piston , meaning after you come off the brakes its sticking on slightly for a little while before it properly goes back.

if the piston is free and pushes back easily i'd be looking at the flexi for internal collapsing.

the pads ALWAYS run on the pads so warped (which is a myth) or not it won't cause the issue
