I have mentioned this to the service department more than once. They have no idea why this happens.
My wife's 2016 X6M also does this, every single time. And her front rotors are also marked up because of it. And, my service department also doesn't have a clue why it happens.
That's just science - cast iron and iron in the pad material begin to surface rust together. Take the machine for a quick drive and cycle the brakes and ensure they are warm and dry - it won't happen ever again

The X brakes are huge and all that surface area rusts quickly and you have your pad sticking problem
