you guys should take it back to the dealer. it's a under warranty service. if they can't resolve the problem, they'll replace the brakes w/o any charge .

If you're talking about creaky brakes, I unfortunately think it's normal. I have asked the dealer several times about this, because Acuras don't do this. They are smooth brakers. It seems that BMWs are characteristic of this 'creakiness' when letting off the brake, either slow or fast.

Mine are a bit noisy sometimes as the brake caliper releases the disk when I take my foot off (automatic transmission so there is force on the caliper when the car is stopped). I think the noise from (very) hard braking is the same phenomenon as the ABS releases and reapplies the calipers.
