The Continuing Cow Bell Story

My car has now released the dreaded cow bell sound twice. The car was built about 6 months ago, and has 4,000 miles on the clock - kinda new for nasty sounds coming from the wheels. I do live in a rural area, and it seems to do this after the town has sanded the road during a snow event.

In agreement with other posts I have seen here, my 2005 E46 M3 did exactly the same thing, and at about the same times. The first time the E46 did it, I took it to the dealer and was told it was the ebrake adjustment. The mechanic loosened the ebrake to the point where it hardly worked anymore, but I had less cow bell noise after that. I was hoping I'd not hear this sound again, especially since the E90 is a such a different car, but I guess that's wishful thinking at this point.
