The other bummer is I'll have to swap out for track days. But it's well worth it over the OEM noise and dust.
I agree...installing the reds made a huge difference in dust and noise.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Looks like now I have to decide between the iSweep1500 or the EBC reds

I bought my 2023 Comp a couple weeks ago and (shocker lol) it had squeaky brakes (like many of the M3's I've owned).

However, as was the case with the previous cars (all but one of them were CPO or slightly used), it was most likely the fact the cars sat around or weren't driven "hard" which created the squeaky brake scenario because each time (including with this new car) I took it out and got it up to higher speeds and then did multiple full locks, the squeak vanished. TOTALLY. Sometimes it will come back as brakes get wet and sit, etc., but at least from my experience, repeat the previously mentioned process and we're back to quiet time

Mine has been tracked multiple days. Squeaks didn't go away, and came back before I made it home. Granted I don't drive on the street anywhere near like the track on braking load.

If you resolved your issue. Kudo's to you, I can't drive hard enough daily to keep it away. Either way the dust is insane as well. Red's have been great, also like isweeps with the ceramic dust it's more of a tan and doesn't seem to attach as easily. With ceramic coating it's easy to keep up on them.

Granted when I go back to the track I swap the pads out. Small price to pay for me, and this pads are quick and easy to swap out.

Believe me. Been there done that. Will come back eventually more or less. Nothing worked until changing the pads. Silent as a mouse no matter dry / wet / just wash etc... and much much less dust.

Mine are intermittently (and randomly) coming back to squeakyville, but not nearly as bad as before I kept hammering them from full stop. Def going to swap out pads before too long, but at least it's way better that full squeak-o-rama lol.
