HIRISC is on a distinguished road
Less squeaky drive home.

Talked with the Service Manager at my local dealership. He's hearing about the same type of issue with their deployed X6's and some X5's. No other X5M's have reported back in.

Thinks my issue is a combination of cold weather and not aggressive enough of a break-in period (manual says to take it easy - he thinks (I agree) that the brakes should be aggressively bed-in when new - aka, glazed brakes.

He suggested another try of bedding the brakes (60-0 several times in a row), and if that doesn't work, we'll try new pads with a more assertive break-in.

FWIW, he said his 535xi was also squealing and completely understood/shared my frustration.

I'll post back when I have more info.
