I got an 08 328i that makes a really loud squeak after I take my foot of brake pedal while in idle. All of them squeak but the front ones are the loudest. My car has about 3200 miles and I thought it was just breaking in but it is getting embarrassing when I am stuck in stop and go traffic. Anyone have the same problem or suggestions before going to bmw service? I have aftermarket wheels that were torqued to 90 ft. lbs during installation by discount tire and I don't recall if or where I saw that wheels should be torqued to 110 ft. lbs on 3 series. Could this be the problem?

No torquing is correct (I believe it is 88lbs to be exact). It could be some residue on the rotors or the sensor. Search the forum, there are a couple of threads on similar issues.
