I've got the same squealing, so damn loud. Really, really embarrassing - I almost dread stop signs...
I've also tried slamming on the breaks and major brake pumping to get around this. nothing works. Also if it was an issue then why does the noise just come from one brake? If it was a 'feature' all would be affected. |

Mine are doing it too. It's extremely embarrassing as people look around in cars near you thinking that a heap of junk has pulled up but see a brand new BMW.
The dealer cleaned mine but it hasn't helped. |

LOL! Exactly my sentiments. I got BMW USA to replace the rotors and pads. Car is going in tomorrow to have it done.

I enquired about a new M6 at my dealer with carbon ceramic brakes and apparently they're far worse for squealing. |

How are your brake's going? Did the issue return? Mine drive me nuts.

Brake harder, don't feather, wait til it gets warmer....How about I don't brake until I find someone with a beater and pull up next to or behind them. Yeh, that sounds good. I think I will do that.

Are you guys bedding the brakes in? Squealing is perfectly normal for high performance brakes if not conditioned correctly.

This makes them very vulnerable to glazing, as in normal street driving you are using probably less than 10% of their potential. As an aside, soft braking, cleaning off the friction material from the disc and glazing the pads is one common problem with street cars, the other is braking hard and keeping the pads in contact with the hot disc. This second problem can in extreme cases warp the rotor locally as the pad stops the disc cooling evenly, or can deposit a pad imprint on the disc locally, which gives the sensation of a warped disc under braking (brake pedal judder). This deposit can often be eliminated by by the bedding in procedure. I would recommend trying the technique in the video....no harm in trying. If you are nervous about the smoking brakes like in the video, IMO you don't have to do carry out quite so many repetitions as suggested. I normally do abut 4-5 hard stops from 60-70. Most importantly, DO NOT COME TO A STANDSTILL Repeat this excercise whenever you feel the brakes lose some bite, or every couple of months and you are good to go. |

high performance Porsche do the same thing at least that's what I hear from testimonials... I think it's one of the drawbacks of having high performing braking system...
I frequently replace brake pads and rotors and the bed in procedure is a must, so I would suggest giving that a try. Before the bed-in process the car would sequel like crazy esp when slowing to a stop.

I think a class action path should be pursued. The failure of BMW NA to address this is outrageous. I had a very frustrating call with a supervisor in "customer relations" this afternoon.

2014 M6 Coupe Competition Pkg; Ceramic Brakes
Had car less than a month. In Los Angeles, never cold. Brakes squeak all the time. Is very embarrassing when I go to work as I have to stop at security gate every morning! I'm taking car in soon for 1200 mile break in service. Hope there is a fix....

Just took in the car at 4500 miles for squealing brakes at low speed. Never had a problem till I moved to LA...Dealer says they'll replace the brake pads, but they're backordered for 3 weeks....
I'm going to try this bedding procedure when I get the car back tomorrow.
