I usually screw these polls up. Hope this one is OK.

My brakes started squealing around 16000 miles.Took it to the delaership and they said the brakes were within BMW factory specs.. B.S. Called the Shop Foreman, asked him to ride with me and he agreed. So when i picked up my car 2 days later, they changed the front rotors and brake pads ..no more squeaking and I have 18500 miles

So far, ten out of 40 poll participants have experienced squealing brakes. Nine of the ten were 530, 525, or 535. At least the poll has narrowed the problem. FWIW.
