Burning Smell

[Mrmango]

Hey guys, bought an is250 08 with 59000km on it a few weeks ago, absolutely love it, the next service is at 65k, (the sticker says anyway)

However, when I brake, not even hard, just a bit, i get out and i can smell like a burning smell, is this normal? It only does it when I brake, what do you guys think it could be or is it normal? Cheers for any help!

I cant see any smoke or anything but they just get hot, not red like ive seen some people report just hot and a burn smell

i actually noticed a burning on my 2007 IS the other day, pretty sure it was the brake pads getting hot, as mine have started to squeel at very low speeds,

Brake squealing at low speeds is commonly reported in the IS - check out this old thread:

Squealing I've heard but not had burning at normal speeds.

I'd get that checked.
