M Performance Brake Pads

Can anyone tell me if it's completely normal that the M performance brake pads squeak worse than an entire family of pigs set on fire?

I've done some research around and apparently it's a common issue with these pads... I get that they are meant more for Track than for Daily Driving but the noise they make is absolutely unacceptable for DD. People turn around in shock half of the time, its borderline embarrassing somedays

I'm very close on putting the stock pads back on... My commute is not long enough to wait for them to warm up...

Suggestions/Comments?

Its a track pad. They squeal like a pig hot or cold. Normal function.

I swear, I've driven the various M4, DB9, Boxter with brake pads and they didn't squeal this loud... Closest it gets is like a 90's Ferrari I once was in

Granted those where mostly driven on track... It wasn't this loud.. It sounds like a broken pos car from the 80's

I'm running Pagid RS29s day and night during "track season". I love it when people look, stare and do head snaps at my '17 M2 which squeals like a pig.
