Anyone with an M Coupe get brake squeal on their OE brake setup? I picked up my coupe in October when the weather was still nice and in the 50's and got some pretty nasty squeal on long braking instances when coming to a stop. it seems to happen more the longer I drive...meaning nothing when I first take the car out but as I continue to/from my destination the frequency and severity of occurrence increases. Thinking it might "work itself out" since the car was new and formerly sitting in a warehouse for a bit, I let it go but still get it 1800 miles later. Dropped the car off at the dealer today to get looked at (and a little late 1200 mile inspection) and he said it's probably because the cold (Chicago winter weather). When I mentioned it did it back in October when it was warm the service advisor said something to the effect that it's normal. Somehow, I doubt that. Anyways, anyone else get this lovely squeal? It only seems to occur when the car has been slowed to low speeds (maybe < 5 mph and coming to a stop.

It's normal. You just need to bed-in your brakes.
