Not sure if it was done or not but it is necessary for your brake system to function properly and it should eliminate squealing.Follow the instructions in these links.<a href="http://zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm" target="_blank">http://zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm</a><a href="http://www.stoptech.com/technical-support/technical-white-papers/bed-in-theory-definitions-and-procedures/stock-brake-system-bed-in" target="_blank">http://www.stoptech.com/technical-support/technical-white-papers/bed-in-theory-definitions-and-procedures/stock-brake-system-bed-in</a>In reference to the TS, the mechanic may not have fully depressed the caliper piston back into its bore after changing your pads and they could be constantly be touching your discs slightly causing the squealing while the brake pedal is not depressed. When you depress the brake pedal, it allows the pad to make full contact eliminating the squealing. Either remove the pads and fully seat the pistons or follow the brake pad bedding in procedure. The bedding in will remove excess pad material and could give your brakes the necessary clearance between the pads and calipers. To those who are having issues with Textar pads, be careful as there are many fakes in our market. Stock, OEM pads should not squeal. Only race pads will squeal. Have installed textars on my E34 and my brothers E46 with no problems.Val, correct me if I am wrong but you are running M5 brakes with Khoos discs right?You shouldn't be having any problems with brake squeal if they were bedded in correctly though especially since you are not using race/track pads. From what I read, it only squeals when the brake pedal is not depressed?</blockquote>
