Squeaky brakes

Do lots of people suffer from the squeaky brakes?

Car now has 1,600 miles on it and it is quite annoying?

Very common ... had this issue on 2 F10 M5's as well as my current F90 M5C ... I opted for aftermarket pads. No noise and much less dust.

Loads written about this, however I have never had this on the 3 M5's and 3 M3's, my tip, Snow foam wheels and calipers along with the rest of the car then jet wash off. No noises at all from the Brakes.

Has anyone here replaced the OEM pads with aftermarket? Curious if there’s anything available in the UK or are folks buying from the US?

Mine only ever squeak when the wheels are dirty, when clean they are as good as gold.

Car is on 1700 miles.

Previous F90 had ceramics. Only used to slightly squeak when cold.

Present F90 does not have ceramics but will squeak like a mofo when lightly braking after driving the car hard.

Once cooled down and driving the car normally the squeaking goes.

Mine are quiet but i do like to lean on the brakes quite hard.
winter time can be a problem time for brakes as in bad weather the brakes are used less hard and the pads can glaze also the brake deposit film tends to wear off.
Keeping an even brake pad deposit film on the disks makes quite a difference to how well the brakes work.

Never however I snow foam disks/wheels and pads, and jet wash off, never ever had a squeak out of any "M" car.
