So here is the write up from my service visit:

Check and advise for clicking noise on brake pad, most noticeable when stopping after changing direction.
Asst shop foreman road tested and verified sound with customer: seems to originate from normal caliper motion during load reversal upon initial brake application.
Lubed spring clips of front brakes, sound still present. Updated Puma case 47921111 for BMW Canada to monitor. Puma measure 44767097-02 states parts replacement. Does not provide a remedy. No further action required at this time.

So there you have it. They acknowledge the issue, and continue to do nothing about it. So now whenever anybody sits it my 70k luxury sports sedan and asks "what's that noise?", I get to tell them "oh it's nothing really, just a normal thing for a BMW.", to which the can reply, "Odd, that doesn't happen in my Hyundai."

Not happy......
