bmw e30 "crunchy" brakes

by dhs@[EMAIL PROTECTED] (dhs) May 11, 2008 at 07:54 PM

My 89 325i has a brake problem I haven't experienced before 
on any other car. Several times a day, when the brake pedal
is depressed it feels (for the lack of a better term) crunchy,
a bit like the ABS is kicking in. For those of you who live
up north, it feels exactly like stepping on snow that partly
melted and then re-froze. This has been going on for several
months and seems to be getting more frequent.

My mechanic, who used to own the car, couldn't find anything
wrong, although we did replace one set of brake pads (and 
inspected the other), and that didn't help. He thought it 
might be the ABS controller, and so I tried a couple of used 
ones (new ones are outrageously expensive), and this also 
didn't help. 

Any ideas of what else it could be? Is this a common E30 
problem?

Thanks for any advice.
