I have a '96 850 t5, the brake pedal buzzes through my foot when I brake.
This is an intermittent problem, which generally doesn't bother me.
I had the rear discs and pads replaced recently which removed the brake judder, but the buzz still remains.
A bit weird though - any ideas?

All my 850s have done this - sort of occasional fart from the pedal under slow speed braking on a bumpy surface (not the ABS being activated, but a rasperry from the unit). I think it is just the cranky ABS controller getting into a pickle. Don't think it has any major significance.

proper "machine gun" brake pedal, like ABS activation at low speeds, can be issue with the ABS ring on cv joints.

My C70 was doing this, replaced both CV joints , fine now
