On return to the dealership the mechanic said to the service receptionist that 'there was an update from BMW on their technical system about this issue' so he clearly had seen it before. They lubricated the front discs did a test drive and they still squealed so they then did the rears (hence 3.5 hours) and now having squealed loudly under 25mph then squeal quietly at under 5mph just as the car comes to a halt. So, that's progress I suppose.

Lubricated discs? What on earth has your service technician been smoking?
