I've run ceramic pads on almost all of my non carbon ceramic brake cars for maybe 10 years now, anything that goes to track days gets a simple pad swap before and after, easy enough....no dust on the street is important to me. |

I’ve tracked one of the 911s. None of my Porsche brakes ever squealed, not when new or as they aged. Mine were all steel. Thankfully my 2020 M5 does not squeal. No, it’s not normal. Last edited by MDJAK; 05-25-2020 at 07:41 AM.. |

I have the ceramics; there is a little squeal at the end of a stop. I do a lot of stop-and-go driving......A nice aggressive stop from "take-off" speed will burn off the corrosion buildup and help a lot.....I don't mind a bit of squealing....all disc brakes are a bit prone to this.

Temperature and brake dust seem to be contributing factors.

They got marginally better when they heated up, but they were never good and I quickly got tired of reminding my wife every time she got in the car to make sure nobody was within 100 feet of you when you back out of the driveway, because the car ain't gonna stop. Quickly went back to the stock brakes and they were awesome. What's funny is when I called the big Audi indy shop in the Bay Area to have the Hawk pads installed, he refused to do it. He said they were awful and that he would never put them on a customer car for liability reasons. Stock only. Little did I know how right he was. |

Noise or lack thereof has nothing to do with the brakes themselves, it's all about how you drive the car. Nothing unique about BMW in this regard.
