Good morning, been visiting as a guest on a few occasions and finally joined. My name is Stewart and based in the north east of England just south of the borders I currently own a 73 plate 240I LCI and a also have a 68 plate 435d cabriolet (wifes car). Previous BMW's and first were a 66 plate 420d coupe followed by a 20 plate 135i both of which I no longer own. I have posted images in the members gallery for viewing. Apart from the cars, other hobbies include Scuba diving and mountain biking but as coming up to retirement age these might be short lived. I hope I can contribute with learnings over many years of previous car ownership as well as picking up tips from others -

Brakes applying themselves
Morning Mark Welcome to the Forum Your car has Disc's front and rear plus the master cylinder, I assume that the garage changed both the front calliper's and discs? Brakes don't apply themselves unless your car has Cruise Control with distance control (which I don't believe 1 series had). That leaves the Rear callipers or Master cylinder, if the binding happens a hand near the wheel centre will let you feel the heat (don't touch the wheel or hub unless you don't mind loosing skin 😁) If all brakes are binding or even just the Front I would suspect the Master cylinder remember it is separate to the Vacuum Servo Good Luck Dave -

Brakes applying themselves
Good evening Hopefully you can advise me, I have a 2015 (facelift) 1 series , last week I was driving and the brakes seemed to apply thereselves, slowing the car right down. After pulling over and waiting a while it drove fine. Then a few days later happened again with a burning smell from front left I took it to the garage and they said a stick caliper, they also replaced disk and pads As well as calipers. I picked it up £790 lighter and its happened again. I'll be calling them first thing in the morning to see what they say I've done the basic servo check, engine off pump break until hard, start engine and the pedal releases so surely this can't be the servo. Any ideas at all? I'd like to speak with them having a little knowledge many thanks in advance Mark .
