Hi,

I purchased a 316 E21 1982 about 2 months ago. The car had a lot of engine work done, but had been standing for about 4 - 6 months prior to my acquisition of it.

The problem I have is when I drive, the brakes work fine (disks on front, drums on back) front and back. But after about 40 minutes of driving, it seems the front calipers start to lock or seize up. I don't know what to look for.

Has anyone seen this before? Know how to fix it? Help much appreciated!

Thanks,

Kam
