If you used genuine pads and discs, they should not be noisy if fitted properly.

That means cleaning the caliper (clean the pistons, clean the four sliding sections where the short edges of the pads will strike).

And using the BMW brake grease. Apply the grease to the contact face of the pistons and put a 5mm diameter blob on your finger and smear this on each of the sliding sections you cleaned before.
Grease the short edge of the pads and grease where the pistons will kiss the back of the pads. This is the same procedure BMW specifies.

The other possibility is your caliper/s have sticky pistons that dont apply pressure evenly on the pad.

And just to clarify, you say you used OEM pads. Is that OEM as in Textar, etc or genuine BMW?
