Good evening, I would like to kindly ask you a question. A short time ago I purchased for my Mini F56 JCW year 2015, the pair of front Brembo discs code 09.D179.21 with relative pads code P 06 097, and attached wear sensor. After careful running-in and despite the braking being powerful and without particular defects, I noticed right from the start a slight but constant noise even with the pedal not pressed that increases in intensity in proportion to the speed, which amplifies if I go under an underpass or when the sound bounces off parked cars but especially on guardrails. It seems like a continuous triiiill that changes tone when braking... I raised the car and put it in N, the wheels spin freely apart from a slight rubbing between the disc and the pad... I therefore ask you for some clarification on this matter.. I know that the slotted ones and with non-through holes are a little noisier, but with the pedal not pressed we shouldn't hear any noise or trill whatever. Could it be that these pads are directional and I inadvertently mounted them backwards? There is no left or right or any direction arrow on the pad... I await your response. Best regards.

Good evening! Some times the pads can be with rotation … in the video I have use Zimmermann pads and they was without rotation!maybe the problem is there . Otherwise check the metal spring on the caliper maybe it’s not right installed! But sometimes the Brembo pads can be defective! Thank you 🙏 and sorry for my bad English

@@CARSPARTSTOOLS Thank you very much for the quick reply, your English is very understandable instead, think I am Italian and I am writing to you with Google translator ahahaha, :-) In any case I checked the springs on the caliper and they are mounted correctly, honestly the Brembo pads do not have letters or arrows so I assume they are not directional.. I think more as you say that they could be defective.. The strange thing is that if I press hard on the pedal this trillll like electric shock at low intensity remains, evidently they rub on the disc which being grooved creates this effect... I will go to a specialized center to have them checked. Thanks again. and sorry for the inconvenience.

No problem 😉! If you will find the problem please write me a answer, I am interested also!
