My Brothers 318ci has been outside the house for the last three weeks while he's been on holidays. I went to take it out for a refresher spin today and noticed the brakes were quite rusty. Nothing really unusual there as we live 20 meters from the sea and the discs rust up within 2 days anyway. However, when I drove the Beemer for a few minutes, there was incredibly bad grinding noises, and upon returning about 10 minutes later theres still rust rings on the discs.

Does it just need a good run or have they been left too long with irreperable damage? Can't imagine it being permanent, I've just never seen or heard that much rust on one of the cars.
