My Mini SE is making me look like a broken record! It started with this annoying squeak when creeping or turning, and it's getting worse. I took it in and they cleaned and adjusted everything, but the squeak is back! Any ideas on what to try next?
 
Do you know how to remove your brake pads? And do you know how to check its condition? If yes, then check the thickness, maybe it's getting thin already that's why it's making squeaks. If not, then try cleaning it with a brake cleaner.
 
Sometimes it could be something small like a stick, twig, or even a little pebble stuck in there. I once had a twig, but it didn't really make a squeaking sound. Most likely, a bit of copper grease on the back of the brake pads will fix it.
