More squeaky brakes - this time driving forward

Don't know if it's the cold, but my X5M has been driving me crazy the last 10 days.

3000 miles.

Light to light/medium brake pressure = SQUEALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

Thought it was glazing, so I did a couple of very aggressive stops from 60.. helped for 5 minutes then back to squealing.

Called the dealer - suggested it was glazing. In fact, it's so loud that the service advisor could easily hear it over the Bluetooth.

Told the SA I tried to self de-glaze. Suggested doing it 5 or 6 times. I retorted that it's absurd to expect customers to perform 5 or 6 panic stops to de-glaze pads. (snow + panic stops = bad).

He said I could bring it in..

Anybody else have squealing brakes while driving >>>> ?

*Love the truck, not loving BMW's apparent lack of brake system usability testing in reverse and forward.
