The factory brakes brakes will squeal when they get too one half or two thirds worn out. I think its BMW's way of designing the brake pads so owners buy new brakes. You could always use some other brake pad along with BMW rotors.

I really like the way the original pads feel(bite) when cold... so I stuck with them along with BMW Performance rotors. BMW changed the dusting of the original pads. They still dust, but not as bad as my first set of pads.
