The only ppl that do that are race cars as they need max performance from their brakes and they change te brakes after ever race.

Baby the brakes for break-in....apply light pressure (brake earlier at lights/stop signs) and slowly come to a stop. What you want is to smoothly even out the pad and rotor while applying the pad material on the rotor

Bmw should bed in the brakes at factory...less customer complains about noisy brakes imo
Have to call BS on this statement. Heat cycling the motor and brake pads, and even tires is the only way to have them properly set. But hell, what do I know? Or wait, I have experience
I dont have 30 year experiance but I do have 20 years

Try braking slowly/smoothly for a few miles and put your fingers on the rotor...you will get burnt, that being said you can also bed in brakes this way
