Yes, looks like the brake pad on the inside of the caliper on the passenger side was wearing on an angle and was hitting the rotor. I would double check that you are not seeing this.

Mercedes missed this on my car two times, the field service manager didn't even see it!

Now, I am waiting two weeks for brake pads to come out of Germany and the car is just sitting there. I have the ceramic rotors, apparently no brake pads in North America and not even a part number??

Already waited two weeks for them to replace the rotors as there was a service bulletin and they were not wearing properly.

My brakes are very sqeaky. I took it to dealership 2 times so far and they said that it is perfectly normal.

If you have the carbon ceramic brakes, yes, they're noisy at slow speed stops. It's the nature of CCBs.

If it's ridiculously noisy, you may want to check the brake calipers; there's a brake sensor wire that, at least for me, inadvertently popped out of the caliper and started rubbing against the inside of the rim. It wore a shallow divet into the rim (rim and sensor being replaced under warranty) and while it was in contact with the rim, changed the harmonics just enough to cause a screech every time I braked, regardless of how hard/soft.

Wow! Last couple weeks I have laud squeal with light touch on brakes that goes away as temperature builds. Few hundred yards later as the brakes cool, the noise again.
Was not expecting this in the MB.

My brakes did the light squeal around 6k miles, but as I approached 8k it became embarrassingly loud. At first I thought it was because these cars come with "performance" brakes, but I met a guy at the AMG Driving Academy in Austin and he had the same symptoms and his dealership replaced his brake pads under warranty.

I took my car in for maintenance and asked they take a look and do the same. They replaced my front pads and it immediately helped, but I still heard a small squeal. I brought my car back in and they replaced the rear pads and now I hear nothing. They did not mention anything about rotor/caliper alignment or potential glazing of the pads. They simply replaced and it went away. They did mention these pads are on back order, but I got "lucky" as originally they were told it could take two weeks to get them in. FYI I do not have the CCB.
