I had this problem on my Commander a few years ago albeit with Yamaha brakes. The cure for me was to change from sintered brake pads to organic compound. They are easier on your discs as well. I think Ferodo are available from Motoworld the BMW parts specialist part number FDB108P Also pay attention to the lubrication of your brake pedal and linkage to the master cylinder as they are prone to stiffening up.
