My dealer replaced pads over a month ago. No problems at all. Suddenly there is a squeek when I apply.

Brake dust build up has been listed as cause if brake squeaking, My dealer just replaced my rear pads and sensors to cure brake squeaking, so far so good. Could also be the sensor or a loose pad. Take it back if the car is making noise again.

Guess I need to hose them off and see if it goes away?

I never knew that ..... Thanks.
We are told by BMWA that we had a choice either brake dust or squealling brakes ie the difference was in the pad material.
