Clicking Noise from Brakes...

My '11 535i does this:
When I change gear "drive to reverse, or vice versa), the first time I apply the brakes, I get two or three short, but very audible "clicks" coming from the brakes. It only happens the first time I apply the brakes, but it happens every time I change direction.
So, I back out of my garage, apply the brakes, and hear "click click click". I back onto the street, drive to the first stop sign, apply the brakes and hear "click click". I back into my stall at work, and as I apply the brakes, "click click".

I have taken it into the dealer a couple of times. The first time, they did something to the way the brake pads were seated, or some such thing. The noise went away for a while, but came back. So I took it in again, and after much fussing, they declared this annoying sound "normal". Their basis for this determination was that they took another brand new 535 out on a short road test and heard the same noise.

Am I the only one?
