Front End Strange Oscillating Squeaking Noise

hi All,
I have been having a strange oscillating squeaking noise coming from the front end of my F30 328i, the noise only comes when the car is warmed up. I am suspecting the brakes, any other ideas on what could be the source of the noise? thanks in advance!

Remote diagnostics are the most difficult ones. Oscillating noise implies that rotation is involved in creating the noise. When were your brakes serviced last, including resurfacing the rotors?

bought the car at 22k, car is about 33k miles on the clock, and I have not personally taken it in for brake job. maybe i'll do that soon and see if brake service could take care the problem.

the right side brake does squeak pretty loud first few stops in the morning.

When did the problem first appear? Were you able to get service history before buying the car? Always helps. In either case, getting brakes thoroughly examined is a good idea.

car was under warranty when I bought it, and the noise didn't start until the warranty was over........
