Just had a partially seized front caliper on my 123D after being parked outside for 3 weeks in the wet whilst I was away.
Ended up removing, cleaning and re lubing all 4 calipers in the end.
I am quite gentle on them so the sliding caliper to pad contact points started to seize.
MPG has improved a bit since freeing them off.
Starting to study AUC for an F31 to replace my 1er.

They don't do it straight away, only when the car has been running for 10 mins or so. More noticeable around town, but I guess we brake more around town than on a run! They only squeal when pulling up to a standstill at literary walking pace but don't squeal all of the time and it's difficult to predict when they will squeal, but you can guarantee if I drive about for about half an hour they will squeal at some point.
There has been a couple of threads on squealing brakes, especially M Sport brakes.

M Sport braking system on mine occasionally squeak when coming to a standstill and I now have 5k+ miles on.
Does it have anything to do with harder pads on the M Sport braking system?

I'm going to try applying the handbrake while slowly moving tomorrow. Sounds like a simple way of solving an annoying problem.

Thanks for everyone's input. It's much appreciated.

Tried the handbrake thing. Hasn't worked. Least I can now give BMW some direction on what the noise is and where it's coming from.
