Brought it in today for the squeeky brake syndrome. They replaced all the brake sensors and the noise is gone. My service advisor told me that the brake sensors being produced were too long and that they finally caught on to this and made them shorter, if that makes any sense. All I know is the noise is gone! Just thought I'd share that.

The brake sensors are now on National back order -- my car will be going back to get them installed as soon as the parts come in...

Yes, I had all mine replaced a week or two ago also, and no more noise!! Thank goodness! The great thing is that the SIB calls for not only replacing the sensors but to replace the brake pads as well so you essentially get new pads on all four wheels too!

My e60 start to have squeeky brake syndrome. It's not too bad yet, only when I apply certain pressure to the break that I will hear the squeeky noise.
I will wait until I can't handle it anymore before I bring it back to the dealer.

Mine got to the point where it would squeek when I wasn't even applying the breaks but driving at low speeds. It got pretty irritating!!
