sqeaky noise with new brakes
I had an indy put rear brakes and pads ( OEM) last month. I was there when he was doing the job and i know for sure , he lubricated the brakes etc. I noticed loud squeaky noise right after. It has gotten a little better but still quite annoying . what went wrong?

Was it just pads or both pads and rotors? Were the pads OE type pads?

New brakes need to be 'seated' and sometimes squeak before they seat. But after a month I can't believe that could possibly be the problem if it wasn't done. Is the squeaking all the time or just when you brake?

Could be a couple of things. By OE, do you mean genuine BMW pads, or aftermarket OE replacement pads? Metallic pads are notorious for making noises, even more so if not properly bed-in.

I would go for a drive and make several stops at increasing speeds. Start at 20mph and in increments of 10 work up to 60 and make 3 spots at 60. Increase how hard you brake as the speed increases. When you stop don't sit still long. Try that and see if squeak goes away. I suspect it won't be a fix but can't hurt.
