Squeeling brakes

[petrolhead]

Replaced the fronts with Mintex 1144s and the rears with std BMW pads.

Vey noisy at low speed ie pulling up to traffic lights/junctions, front and rear (rear probably more noisy)

Have shamfered the edges a little, fitted anti squeal backing pads and used copper slip.

Any other suggestions?

I had squeeling front pads after BMW replaced the discs, calipers and pads on the Z3 last year, it was annoying but after a while of bedding in I did a few high speed runs on a quiet road and used the brakes hard and the squeeling went away, might be worth a shot before doing anything else.

So far have done 500 miles plus the what you suggest but still squeeling

Are the disc contact faces very polished? If so might be worth rubbing them with emery cloth to dull and rough them up. New pads will be very hard to bed in with a highly polished disc face. Hope that's of some use.
