Just did. That's what I thought. I'm going to keep an eye on it but would you happen to know if pads come with an angled cut? If so, that would explain it.

Thanks for the quick reply. Both front rotors look like identical so it's unlikely that both calipers are sticking. The work was done by a very reputable indie shop. I trust them more than I trust...

I had that same problem once. I had the engine coolant temp sensor replaced and I had no more jumpy idle after that. I don't know if that was the cause, but thought I'd mention it considering the...

In Audi vs. BMW: S5=335xi coupe. RS5 will=M3. S5 is not a direct competitor with M3 as many like to

believe.
Base MSRPs:

335xi coupe: $43,000
S5: $42,000

M3 coupe: $57,500
RS5: $slightly less than $60,000 (around the price of the M3)

The numbers do not lie. $42,000 (S5)?$57,500 (M3)....
