I know it may sound like I'm whining but cmon BMW this is a 120k truck it should not be squeaking the way it does. I had pads and rotors replaced twice by dealer and still nothing has changed.

The part that sucks the most is that I love the way it drives but there's no way in hell I'd spend this kind of money on a truck to have people looking around when ever I come to a stop because it sounds like a tribe of school busses are arriving. PLEASE BMW FIX THIS ISSUE
the more performance behind the pad, the more squeal. I didn't realize X5M come with track pads (or close to that). My car squeals when not even braking (track pads contacting rotors, sounds like a freight train coming to a stop lol)

You can just go buy some quieter pads if you really need to.
I am coming from GTR which of course had some squeal but no where near as much as the X5m. And I'm not buying that whole performance car non sense because I've driven a Huracan for a couple days and other higher end cars and never heard the brakes at all. I feel like BMW is just too lazy to develop a solution for this.
