BMW’s current CEO has done management, between 1982 and 2006, Helmut Gunter Wilhelm Panke was the CEO, he has a PhD in physics, in 2006, Norbert Reithofer succeeded Panke, Norbert who studied mechanical engineering.
Between 2015 and 2019, Harald Krüger was the CEO, he also studied mechanical engineering.

I changed my brake pads and rotors to brembo before it was OEM and after about 300 miles or so i started getting a squealing sounds when i brake at the rear. Then pads and rotors were changed again same day started making that noise, yesterday I had the rear pads replaced with OEM as the site (euro car parts) the garage used said those pads are not compatible with my car. In those 2 videos its not that loud before I've had it sound like an elephant and its quite loud. Its irritating that it happens when I brake. Any ideas what is causing it? I'll definitely have to go elsewhere as I'm not happy with this garage. On the other car too there was issues that i cannot understand why I had to come over, inspect the car, and tell them the car went into limp mode for them to go back and check a sensor was not plugged back in.
gentle osprey
brake squeal is commonly from pad vibration so either theres no rubber backing pad, or it needs some brake grease (yes its a thing). Both pretty straight forward.
For what it's worth I run VBT discs and pads now on my van. I had issues with the Brembos fitted for a short time but after a couple of hard stops well after the bed in period the front right developed a nasty vibration so had to be changed. Had zero problems since That said I keep seeing big brake kits going to 330 four pots from 312 two pots could be fun

Brake grease and also properly bed the brakes. I have to yearly re-bed the corvette brakes cause after the winter they squeal a ton unless i re-bed them with hard braking
Performance brakes want you to stomp on them. If you dont use them they start to squeal and need to be broken back in
