I have a 1993 245 that had a odd on and off sensation when I first drove the car after it had been parked for four years - bought it from another owner. Sort of a pulsating in the pedal along with an almost on and off motion that made the car fell like it was somewhat gyrating for lack of a better description.
New pads and rotors did not solve the problem as it still does it - I have heard a faulty abs sensor can cause this - flex hoses look alright and the pistons in the calipers pushed in without much effort. I was thinking perhaps sticking pistons - after driving the car a few miles in the city and using the brakes in typical traffic stop and go I touched both rotors briefly through the Virgo wheels after it had sat for 5 minutes and you could not keep your finger on the rotor for more than a moment, so they were both hot, no signs of excess heat though such as blueing or discoloration. Any ideas?
