[QUOTE="virtualmystic, post: 361410, member: 5576"] I had the same problem and traced it to the rear right brakes on my 325 E30. The problem was that the brake caliper floating mechanism was jammed and thus the brake shoes did not "float". This led to one of the pads (of the pair) not withdrawing completely from the disc and wore it off until the fasteners (normally rivets) that held the brake shoe to it's backing plate was exposed. The rivets made a deep groove in my disc which had to be replaced. I ended up replacing both rear discs and of course the brake shoes. have a good look at both the inboard and outboard brake pads and see if they are wearing down evenly. Otherwise you'll have to pull them out for a closer inspection. You can watch the video of my squealing brakes here.
