Squeeling brakes.....
 
Hello all. I have a question and would like a general consensus. I have an '03 x5 that I just recently purchased. Previous owner was meticulous witn maintenance. My problem is squeeling brakes stopping at speeds of 20 mph or less. Took it to shop- they said rotors are all good. Pads are practically new and wear looks normal. Brake sensors are good also. I know, long-winded, but my Q: any recommendations on good pads with minimal dust, good stopping power, and no/very little squeeling? Think owner just made wrong choice of pads?... thanks in advance.

Might not be the pads used but something with the installation or even the bedding not being done properly.

I'm sure someone will chime in with good pads for these. On my other BMW's I've used Hawk with good success.

Been reading up on Hawk, seem like an option....
