Check the the brakes -- I seem to recall that there is a thin metal dust/heat shield (?) that can scrape the caliper as the wheel rotates and needs to be adjusted like a mm or so to avoid light contact.

Another possibility is the sliding pins for the calipers

I think there were TSB's for the G37 on these issue, and I had the first one on my Z.

Finally, there could be a small pebble trapped in the caliper that is scraping.
Trips and Tigger like this.
