Stuck calipers anyone?

On my 2006 E46 M3 both front calipers are being replaced under warranty because they are sticking. The friction is causing the rotors to heat up and of course you can feel some "shimmy" in the steering wheel. I was told that this problem is not unheard of for the E46.

My question: Have anyone had problems like this on the E9x yet?

It happens to all cars, eventually. I have not heard of this particular issue on any E9X M3's, but it will happen....

Had to rebuild the calipers on my E36 M3....no biggie. Sh*t happens.
