Gease Pins??
Should I grease my caliper pins on my e60 530i?? ive read that u shouldn't but it feels like my brakes might be sticking so I want to grease them up. I don't want to buy them if I can just clean them... if so what kind of grease should I use??

Bentley and BMW Service both say:
Only clean guide screws; do not grease.
Check threads.
Replace all guide screws which are not in perfect condition.
Tightening torque 30 Nm +/- 2Nm
Once had a car where the guide bolt get all corroded when the boot failed. The caliper had frozen. Found that when the pad wore out prematurely. I had been noticed the car pulling also. Ended up needing new pads and rotor. I generally clean up the hole with brake clean and make sure the guide pin and boots look good. If not, replace.
