Nothing, a million post on this. Some have had success changing the pads.

just reporting that i've had the ebc red stuff pads on now since june and several thousand miles and the squealing has NOT returned. brake dust is very minimal, and the stopping power has been fantastic. i am very happy with these pads

I bought my 2023 M5C back in Feb 2023 and the squeaking started about a week after I got the car. I brought it to the dealer and was told "this is a known issue". I love my car but this noise is so embarrassing. Almost forgot to mention. Break dust is a little bad. After I clean the wheels, I look like a Pennsylvania coal miner.

That's when I picked mine up. I have maybe 4000 miles on mine but have not had a single squeak. How many miles you pushing?

Dust is uncontrollable. I never really tried to, anyway. Just learned helplessness and let it be.

The brake dust is horrendous.

I had new pads and rotors installed OEM from BMW (free with service plan) otherwise I would have installed aftermarket. They were quiet for the first couple months, squeal is coming back. Not as bad as it was before, but it's im sure only going to get worse.

I love when a dealer says "it's a known ISSUE".... Sooooo...... Then you should KNOW how to FIX THE ISSUE by now? But they dont, and not only that they wouldn't address it anyway.

Comical (or not) in one sentence they say "its a known issue" essentially admitting its a problem... then will follow it up with "ya, just have to deal with it"... How can you be dismissed and told to deal with it, but they admit and know it's a problem. How they get away with that is crazy.

I wonder if humidity influences it. Humidity looks considerably higher here than Scottsdale (74% versus 45% at this exact moment, according to Google anyway). Wonder if that is consistently the case. Just trying to figure out why mine is so quiet, while others seem to have a symphony.

I’m sure humidity and outside temperature play a role it’s severity

I get some light noise occasionaly, but only when the brakes have heated up and I gently apply them (like carpool line). If I stab the pedal there is no noise. Still practicing coming to a smooth stop from 5mph stabbing the pedal. It's hard to stab then immediately roll off to prevent the jolt at the end. In normal driving I don't get noise because I try to be at .8g or more when braking, or I just let the engine braking do it if in traffic.

The noise goes aways even when light braking after a wash or a bunch of hard high speed stops.

I have 8,800 on it. It's my daily driver. Absolutely love this car. Had an E46 many moons ago, go into trucks for the longest time and realized kids don't want to camp and I can ride my dirt bike to the desert from my house so I don't need to throw it in the bed. It was time to get something I've always wanted.

Coming from a pre-LCI where the squealing was really bad, I monitored the mileage on my LCI to see exactly when the squealing would start. This was because I read several owners on here state that newer (IIRC, ‘21+ LCIs?) non-CCB cars were coming with a new/updated pad that didn’t squeal as much.

I took this photo at the exact moment that I started to hear squealing to have the answer to the question of “when did it start” exactly. My pre-LCI started to squeal in the high hundreds miles and continued incessantly (and, somehow, progressively worse) until I traded it in at 29k on the clock.

I still squeal now, but nowhere near as bad as my pre-LCI. And this gives you an idea of it when it started for me on the LCI.

Magic number? 6,246 miles.

Uea may work for a but i drive an 18 steel brakes and after 10K they started. Complained for 2 years and they goodwilled a new set in 2022 with 15K on the odometer and within 2k miles it begam again. Sonwhat now BMW

Squealing has started up on mine, but it is colder now. I'm at a little more than 4,300 miles.

I've had the is2000 compound for a year. Not a sign of squeak.

How many miles is a year for you?

I have about 5k very hard miles on them. Lots of canyon runs and a couple track events.

[pbonsalb]

That is hard driving, and it probably cleans the pad deposits off the rotors. Most owners don’t actually drive their cars hard even though many think they do, and I think brakes squeak more in that sort of regular driving.

My wife's 23 M3 had it since new and we replaced the pads with is2000's.
She drives normal and the squeak that she had since new is gone completely.
I'm a believer.

[Mr. Jonathan]

I've decided to address the issue come time for normal replacement. Until then, I just turn the music up so I cant hear the squeak.
