Yes, they were steel brakes. There's about 50 threads on the M5 and M8 forums talking about noisy brakes. This was before the Isweep brakes came out, I believe, which a lot of forum members swear by. They are way quieter and eliminate most of the dust - which is totally nuts on the M5.

thanks, i feel vindicated getting the M550 because the roads in my area are the worst roads in the entire developed world (1st world problems i know). and somehow the 550 just glides over them like a magic carpet even with RFTs on 20s. i'm actually going to go to 19s soon.
also glad to know about the steel brakes, i am just finding every reason to not get the M5C, and I think i have enough reasons now thanks a million. reason i asked if steel - i guess it's the brake pads. because all other cars have steel brakes too and luckily mine don't squeal.
