It doesn't seem likely that BMW would put different brake pad material on U.S. vs Canadian/other vehicles.

Just speculating here - but MB for example has the same dynamic challenges - probably no brake squeal - and the variable is that they don't offer 'free' brakes for 4 years.

After I re-bed the brakes (very aggressively) I haven't had the really loud version of the squeal.. it's also been a little warmer here - low 20's F.

We'll see how it pans out.
