 Touchy Brakes



Anyone notice that the brakes are a little touchy -- perhaps overboosted? Wondered if this is something you get used to, or if it goes away with time.

FWIW I find the same thing with a new (1500km) X3. In my case however it may be because - on my old vehicle I used to have to stand up and jump on the brakes to get them to work!

When I first used the brakes on the X3 after leaving the dealers lot - I just about went through the windshield............

I assume they will clean up a bit - or more likely I will get used to the feel after years of a different feel.

Yup, same thing, I recently had a X3 loaner and it felt very similar to the E90 brakes. I think this is too accomodate the non enthusiast crowd BMW is trying to accomodate too. I did get used to them pretty quick but personally I like a little less boost, makes it easier to modulate during aggressive driving.
