I followed Greg's link to the bedding in procedures on brand new brakes. New brakes absolutely stink when you do this! I recall seeing some rotor photos from somebody who had done some driving but not bedded in the brakes, the criss cross marks of the manufacturing process were still evident on the rotor.

Just to clarify, I get quite a bit of squealing when the brakes are hot, but it also occurs during normal street driving, the conditions most conducive to this seem to be:

- a downhill slope
- very light brake application
- speed less than 10kph

If this were a 335 I would find it annoying, I accept these are performance brakes however so take the noise as part of the whole "M" package.
