335i help

Hey guys. I just picked up a new 335i convertible today. I was out driving it tonight, and on the way home, I noticed that it was squeaking when accelerating from a stop, and also after I release my foot from the brake pedal. Is this normal for new cars? Car has 958 miles. Thanks in advance.

958 is alot of miles for a brand new 1-day old car. Are these your miles or test drive miles prior to the sales? If they are low-speed test drive miles, your pads might be glazed enough to cause a squeek, but not bedded properly.

Use this reference and burn in your pads:

It's not going to harm your brakes.
