Brakes "squeak" since break-in service

Hi together,

I don't know if you have the same issue as me...but since the break-in service my brakes squeak on low speed as soon as they are a little warmed up.
and it's really loud !!

I called the mechanic and he told me it's normal, I should brake once pretty hard (which I then did but didn't help) but it will never go away completely.

I mean I know it's a performance car but this is insanely loud...I never owned an M car before so I don't know if this really is normal.

Have you guys the same experience ?

Brake hard a few more times. It is "normal" but it's been worse on this car than my M2C was (not a lot, but worse).

Yep, it is. Porsche made a whole video about squeaky performance brakes at one point.

It's "normal" but should go away once the pads are set into the rotors. The trick is to break a few times to first get the rotors and pads more malleable due to the heat generated. Someone recently posted this that explains a pretty involved process if you are desperate.
