I would strongly advise scuffing the rotors up now since you are changing pads. Bed your brakes in according to the manufacturer. If they are OEMs BMW suggests light braking for the first 300 miles or so and if you need to stomp on them by all means do so. This is contrary to what Cool Carbons state which is a series of brake applications from XX miles an hour to XX mile an hour so many times.
Unless you really use very light braking action you should be fine. Too light will cause the rotor to glaze over and I would guess that is contributing to some of your squeal...

I have to do a lot of very light braking when driving in the city. So far OEM seems to be the best choice.
