My brakes work fine until I have to inch forward or backward from a dead stop. They make a loud sqeaking noise that is not acceptable. I had themn change the pads under warrantee about 3 months ago. Still the problem is here. The stealership told me the reason was because I had put aftermarket wheels on the car and if I put the originals back on the noise will go away. That was funny. Its more prone when the rotors get wet. I had two dealerships tell me that. Have any of you guys with aftermarket wheels experienced this. Or is it time to switch to aftermarket rotor/brake pads.

I get a squeal noise from time to time and was advised by an indy shop that my pads/rotors were still good but the noise was coming from one of the brake pad sensors.

It not the pads, rotors or wheels....The high pitch squeak is from metal to metal contact via your spring retaining clip and the pads sliding on the carrier and the pad that is pressed in on other slide thats not floating. you can use antiseize or pad goo on any of these points and it will reduce or even get rid of your high pitch brake noise. Most dealerships dont take time to lube these areas so your new stuff will be just as loud as the old stuff
I have done this process on all my brake jobs bmw and non bmw cars. On the BMW I had M5 brakes and stock brakes and never had a squeal when I did the job.
