brake issue

I’m having a brake issue like the title mentions

I barely flushed out my brake fluid so it shouldn’t be a fluid issue.

Would it mean I need new brakes?

Here’s a link to the noise it makes

How do the brake pads and rotors look?
What year is your M3 and how many miles are on it?

Brake pads still have a bit more life left on them

Rotor does look like it was scratched

2016 and creeping up on 80k miles

Is the brake pedal squishy or continues to go to the floor under braking?
If so, you need to do a proper brake flush.

Brake pedal is squishy

I took my car to the dealership yesterday to do a brake flush hoping that’d fix the issue

I’ve, had a bad brake flush before a track day. No confidence in the brakes.
The shop redid it after I took it back. I had the service manager test drive the car.
