Is this normal at all?

Sometimes I hear a noise from brakes too and this is different from squeaking noise that I used to have last winter. Brake material does not seem to be up to bmw quality comparing with my older 5 series. Please let me know what is your experience.

Mine had to be changed at 20K but I drive spirited. The noise you hear could be the sensors, they make a squealing kind of sound. Whenever you hear a noise take it your dealer and have them check it that's why you have warranty. I had break noise at 10k that turned out to be sensors.
