Brake noise

Every M2 video I watch,the brakes are squeaking bad. I assume it's from abuse from multiple review outlets...

Anybody have these issues?

Guys on the M4 forum are going nuts about vibrations when braking at high speeds.Any issues on the M2?

I did a BMW M track day and the instructor told us that the M2 has on M performance brake pads. So basically they are track pads so that's why they are so noisy.

He meant that the M2 that you were provided for that track day had track pads just like all the M2's given to journalists during the launch reviews. The M2 does not come stock with the M performance track pads. Or is that what you were saying?

My car makes brake noise sometimes, it's not as loud as the track pads, but there's a bit of squeal if I have the windows down and my music really low
