is breaks squea an official design flaw?

[Rez]

I have it only in reverse but mine is X5M. It appears that almost everyone with a X5M or X6M has the same issue so it may in fact be a design issue and no it has not been resoved for MY10

We got it on our 50i - both going forward and in reverse and it gets worse when its cold.

Same thing here with both the X5 and X6.

strange...i thought the problem was really on the X6 design..

my 08 X5 with 14k miles has no break squeal..

can anyone comment on their X6 model and mileage? i'm trying to guage whether or not it's just plain ol break-in or a serious issue long after break-in.

i think in the beginning all breaks squeal... doesn't mean it's a design issue...

anyone been told differently from a dealer or mechanic?

I had a break in squeal, it stopped a while ago. The brakes have been silent. Almost 1900 on the odometer - 2010 50i
