Brake squeal?

Is anyone have brake squealing like bad my driver front is really bad to the point I can't have the window down is so loud is there possibly something wrong or is it just the pad compound I was just at the dealership for the 1200 mile Service so I'm not to excited to have to go back already wondering what you guys think

This is normal. My brakes squeal too, at times quite loud especially when they're still cold. Certainly more brake squeal than the F80.

Have you bedded the brakes?
Most high performing pad set-ups need that done. The process is the opposite of what the manual tells you to do during the first 1500 miles. Until then, you may have to live with some squeal.
You need to get the rotors really hot and leave some pad material on them. Do a search for full instructions.

It literally says in the manual that you should do a few hard braking stops once in a while. I have done this and I do not have any noise at all.

As I mentioned in another post give this a try. It will resolve the issue and make the pads and rotors last longer.
