That one can be taken care of by using Anti Squeal brake pad paste on the backs of the brake pads to provide a cushion in the calipers, to stop the micro vibrations that cause the squeal. Many of us get these squeals because a few years back BMW started saying NOT to use the anti squeal paste on the backs of the pads when doing brake jobs. But they know that vibrations in calipers cause squealing. That is why they changed the pad design for the f10 M5 in 2014.
I don't have any noise on my F10 cause I put paste on the back of my pads. I ride motorcycles too, and if I don't use anti squeal paste on my brake pads, I get squealing brakes on the bikes too.

I will bump this for those who missed it the first time.
