Brakes
Has anyone experienced squealing from their brakes? It seems that when I am approaching to brake lightly, then tend to squeal. Dealer claims its normal. I'm not hard on my brakes at all.
Any advice?

The dealer replaced the front brake pads, reluctantly, I must add. The original pads were still like new, but as a 1 time goodwill gesture, they replaced them.
So far, everything seems to be fine with the new ones.

Warranty
Is it true that brakes and associated parts are not covered under the warranty? That's what a BMW salesperson told me when trying to convince me that his cars are better in everyway, including the warranty.
I asked my MB sales guy and he confirmed it. Guess your dealership is showing a 1st time good faith in replacing them for free.

Brakes
Brake rotors and pads are not covered by warranties. Everbody brakes differently, but that does answer new pads at 5-6K. On the TSB for W209's there is a mention of Brake pads and Rotor Design, has anybody confronted techs on what they do to fix the problem? I am in the process of negotiating clk55 brakes and rotors for the clk500. Has anybody attempted this one?
