My Ride: 2006 525i, Silver Metallic, Black Leather, Automatic, Premium, Cold Weather, Xenons.
My 2006 525i has only 10,000 miles on it. For the last 3 weeks when I put the car in reverse and slowly back out of a parking spot the brakes squeal. When I put the car in Drive and need to brake in traffic or a stop light there is no squeal. The squeal only happens when going in reverse. Do you all know what the cause of this could be? Thanks.

I have an older model, it does the same thing. It does not happen all of the time. It never bugged me enough to bother with it. Trust me, somebody on this forum will have an answer for you, they always do.

My Ride: 2004 530i stock.
2000 Jeep Wrangler non-stock =)
Had mine fixed couple weeks ago (in reverse only too), seems like a common problem...brake sensor or something. Do a search, lots of topics on it. =)

I have the same problem. 27 000km's on the clock.
Had it fixed once before, but the problem is back

I change to EBC green stuff and no squeal so after warranty you should change to aftermarket pads
