Brake feel

I must have one of the leggier M2’s around having covered nearly 19 000 miles in coming up for nearly 2 years.

Brake wear at the service looked reasonable both pad and discs wear were measured and plenty of life left in them. However just starting to get some judder on the pedal as the brakes are worked. Not major braking; just after a few stops there is a definite judder at the bottom of the brake pedal travel.

New to drilled discs and the M braking system but can the discs be easily warped? The braking effort is not diminished just not a particularly nice underlying brake feel at the moment.

It's probably just a bit of build up on the pads and disks, get up to a decent speed and stand on the brakes to slow to around 20mph. Do this a few times where it's safe to do so and see if it improves.

Took it on a back road blast and that seems to have done the trick. Thanks.
