E82 Small Issue after brake/pad replacement

[bodhi]

I've got an E82 125i which is currently nearing 189k miles, and is generally running well apart from one small issue that's appeared recently.

To get it through it's MOT I had to fit new rear discs, pads and handbrake shoes to fix a very ineffective handbrake. This worked well, and it can finally hold it's own weight at uphill junctions, however since then I have noticed some strange behaviour from the rear.

It doesn't happen when first starting on the drive, however if I've been driving for a while, then reverse into a parking space, there is a small crunch from the rear when first applying the brakes in reverse. It doesn't happen again unless I move forwards, brake and then reverse again.

Gemini suggests it may be simply a case that the new rear pads are slightly too small and are shifting around when braking in reverse.

Does this sound correct? Car otherwise drives absolutely fine, no untowards noises when braking or changing gear, even agressively.

Which pads did you use?

Sometimes cheaper end pads can have a fair bit of movement compared to OE pads - like they're slightly too small etc; so they move around in the caliper

Looking at the invoice they were Juratek pads.

Considering it also needed new headlights, adjustment motors etc to get through I'm not too bothered about him fitting cheaper pads - bill was 2300 as it was...

Anything to particularly worry about?

No not really; it's just a noise...

Are they covering the full face of the disc / making full contact?

Make sure the caliper bolts are tight.
