Sticking brake caliper

[Potters51]

Aup to everyone

Just had the z4 for a few weeks,started of with humming noise and then steering wheel going crazy.
Thought it was wheel bearing so took back the garage where its under warranty and the mechanic has told me it's the brake cylinder sticking.
I have read through the forum that the front left it happens to a lot so so no surprise mine is the same.

If it’s not gummed on the carrier and pins a new piston and seal kit should sort it out. At least it’s the garage problem to sort out, best case scenario is they replace the calliper for a new one but I’ll doubt it with there margins. Hope it’s back as it should be soon

I've just done this mysen, that is removed, cleaned, new pistons / seals and dust seals. Cleaned / greased the sliders - Easy job. Mine is a twenty one year old Z3 and had not seized up but did them for peace of mind
