brake noise
After changed to new brake sensors and pads, my brakes continues to make noise.
I went see the service advisor to discuss the problem.
He told me BMW's are high performance vehicles, I need to brake agressively to not have the brake noise.
What he means brake needs to be at certain temperature(hot) to not make noises.
We decide to keep a eye on it see what happens.
Has anyone hear similar to this?
BTW, My brake still making nasty noises...

I haven't replaced mine. They are still original pads, but they make squeaky noise sometimes, really embarrassing.

I noticed that each time my brakes make noise, one or two aggressive brakes and the squeaking noise immediatly stops. This may confirm what you dealer told you.

I think it's still the brake sensors. Mine was doing it too and my tech showed me what a sensor looks like. I can't remember for sure but I think there's a newer sensor design which was on national back order at the time my car was in for service. I haven't been notified yet that the parts are in so maybe your dealer installed the older sensors?
You might want to look into procedures for "bedding" your brake pads properly. It might help with the noise a little. Here is a link to start:

That's pretty much the same symptom I have. Sometimes, it makes the noise with no brake applied at all.
The tech said for sure it's the sensor issue...
