Like many on this forum I have the experience of terrible brake squeal. My 2016 X5M goes in next week for the fifth trip to have brakes fixed to reduce or eliminate the squealing sound at low speed stops. This time BMW will have two engineers on site to oversee the pad replacement with new experimental pads that supposedly have had good results in virtually eliminating the noise. They will be replacing the rotors again for a second time. The car has 10K miles on it and it has been extremely frustrating to hear the terrible noise. I have a 2015 M3 and have never heard the brakes many any noise whatsoever. I realize they are different size brakes but it seems like my X5M should be just as quiet. I'll report back if five times is a charm. Nothing more frustrating or embarrassing to have a $113K vehicle that sounds like a dump truck when stopping!

My 2 Cents.. I had the same issue on my 2014 M5. About 6 months in, I started bitching about it. My CA advised of a service bulletin to fix the issue (you can search the F10 M5 board as it's out there somewhere). BMW replaced both front rotors and pads and retrofit some "weights" according the CA.
I literally NEVER heard another squeek or squeel again. Same thing happened to my buddy with an M6. They did the fix, never heard the noise again. Point is, they can fix this issue..maybe they just haven't yet on the X6/X5M. |

One other member, I forgot who, tried the new pads, worked for a while, then it got worse than the stock pads. Same situation with the ceramic pads i bought, but never installed. I think JNosol might have been the one that tried. I think im actually starting to just get used to it, very happy its just a lease though.
