Evening chaps, im havibga coupke of issues with my bmw at the moment and hoping i can find some answer son here.
Firstly is inside my boot the thr left hand aide theres a compartment that i leave the tool kit and locking wheel nut in.... Well i cam to remove the wheel the other day and the box had 3inch of water in ....
The reason i was removing the wheel was beacause i had a rear driver side brake failure( pads were sticmibg and over heating) so i came to a shop and got a puff off smoke. After stripping the calpier down and greasing everything i noticed a squeak when i drive....its intermitent like the disc is warped or something but i didnt drive too far so i doubt the disc is warped. Any help much appreciated.

Mine's just had the same problem, same wheel - I think it's the caliper sticking, it's going into BMW tomorrow for a synopsis. Not sure what damage it will have done as I drove 75 miles on it last week and it was pretty bad for the last 30 miles and the wheel was very hot by the time I got home. We will see!

The water in the boot may be coming from the rear light cluster - I notice mine leaks when I open the boot there's been a lot of rain. It leaks directly onto the area you're talking about. Although 3 inches is a significant amount, mine doesn't actually create too much of an issue hence why I just live with it.

There is a vent panel behind the rear bumper too that can leak.
