I had the same issue with my brake pads in the back. These were brand new OEM installed at the dealer.

What I noticed is that the updated version of the rear pad no longer has tapered edges (V shape) - I ordered the old part number from BMW 34-21-6-794-879 and problem solved!


This was extremely frustrating for me as well. The dealer replaced the pads for me twice thinking it was bad pads, and still they would squeak when damp or cold. It was embarrassing to drive.


The other option is to remove the pads and physically file down the edges. I tried it, it does work but this is only a temporary solution as once the pads wear down it happens it. But it's a good way to at least try and know if this is really your issue.
