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
Sounds like you have some cross drilled or slotted rotors, ever consider just getting blanks?

My 135 sounds like a semi stopping, but god does it stop like a beast. Your car weighs almost a ton more than mine, and at least half a ton more than a GTR, with performance breaks of course it is going to sound like a machine, that's just physics. You could 1. get blanks and enjoy the longer stopping distance, or 2. stop caring what people think about the sound of your car, 3. buy a shitty car with blanks already on them and tell people how much fun driving your old X5M was
