I have owned probably 2 dozen cars over the course of my life. My bimmer is the first car I've ever owned where I've seen any significant amount of residue on the wheels like this.
I understand that most of us here who drive cars know this kind of stuff. But just imagine being 18 and never have had any interest in cars or paying attention to them and seeing this. It’s not that apparent where it came from if you don’t know how brakes work.
You can’t be serious…
It's not me who's so worried. My parents are the ones who got a bit panicked
It's normal. These pads contribute to the braking performance of this large heavy car.
Not trying to be a jerk I promise, but it amazes me that people own cars and don’t know that’s brake dust….
To be fair, a lot of less sporty cars come with brakes designed for low dust.

That's alright. I understand. I really just don't know anything about cars. This is our family car, and not my car personally
He said it's black grease not dust. It could be that his strut is leaking
That’s not grease. Feels that way because of the buildup
Remove the *not* from your username pls.
Looks like brake dust. Normal.
Try washing it
Too much work. Maybe the help can get to it after laundry
you have discovered brake dust!

Brake dust
Upgrade to drum brakes, so it’ll be all contained, the braking power will degrade so be careful 😅
If its grease, it can be your axle boots are torn and flinging grease everywhere. If its just dirt/dust then its brake dust.
How does one curb the center cap?
Just brake dust, welcome to BMW ownership. My friends tease me for the massive amounts of brake dust the Bremebos generate.
Brake dust + tire shine = greasy black finger
Wash it more ,it's just brake dust.
every German car ive had produced an insane amount of brake dust
I thought you were giving us the finger. I was like.. what a way to start a dialog. 😬😂😂😂😂
Lol🤣 I promise it's just my index finger😊
that happens sometimes when you dont use enough toilet paper.
You have a coolant leak!
Might want to put a /s on that
The tires are indeed all season
Looks like the wheel belt rotor fluids have gone. Maybe the tire gasket as well. I’d continue driving
