I test drove a F13 M6 in April 2012, which had ceramic brakes, and it did squeal all the time, and was very loud. I do not have ceramic brakes in my car, and the brakes almost never squel. The way to get rid of the squeal is to periodically slam on the brakes. Something else to consider is that the ceramic brakes work best when warm, so they are not great in stop and go traffic. But they do weigh less than the standard brakes, and last longer. And maybe, since then, BMW has made improvements to lessen the squealing problem with the ceramic brakes. Even if I had the option of getting ceramic brakes, the standard brakes worked best for me, along with the 19" wheels, since I live in NYC. Hope that helps.
