LOL, then take it with a grain of salt! What can I say, there are a couple real clowns on this board. You want me to ignore the fact the car sounds horrible due to the brakes? Maybe this is your guy's first M or high-performance car and you are just happy to be in it and don't care how it sounds. Got news for you, it doesn't matter the car.....it could be a Bugatti, if your brakes are as loud as ours', the first thought in peoples' heads is going to be why your car is broke.

Whether it be when I had the SL55 or when I had my E64 M6 Cabrio (also new)....the brakes did not squeal, at all, let alone after 2k miles. $130k cars are not supposed to do that. Ever heard a Lambo, Bentley, Ferrari squeel louder than a pig? Not me. I don't even think cop cars or taxis' brakes are this loud. The worst part is that BMW acts as if this is normal......yet they have no problem replacing the pads and rotors (probably $5k to do) if you complain enough. If it really were normal, they would tell you to pound sand and wouldn't replace a thing.

I think I need to get a new exhaust just so people can't hear the brakes.

M6 Coupe, you asked in a previous post how many 600hp cars are there that have to stop at 60MPH and are 4,400 pounds and that most high-performance cars have brake issues. No, they don't. That argument is defeated by the fact that tonight I went for a 2 mile roundtrip to get food (never going more than 35MPH) and the brakes were squealing immediately. Do 7-Series or S550's...cars much heavier than the M6 and just a bit less HP, have these issues? No. It's just a dumb argument to try to prove....that the squealing is somehow normal.
