We just bought our brand new BMW 3 series just yesterday. My husband said that the brakes weren’t very responsive as compared to the other car(same 3 series 2019)the salesperson had a test drive. Is this normal? Is something wrong with our cars brakes? ---

Did you not drive this vehicle before you bought it ? Return to the dealer and if no satisfaction just have them take it back if you location has the 3 day buyers remorse return law. ---

Might, emphasize might, just the brakes need a break in. The test drive vehicle brakes were already broken in. If otherwise they stop the car okay, give it 500-1000 miles to find out. Then if the braking still seems unresponsive take, it in.
