Regarding the Axxis Deluxe Plus pads: Every site I look at offers them for the E39 & other BMW models. Can you really get these for the E60? (I have an '04 530i)
I assume so since y'all are talking about them!
Where are you buying them?
Thanks,
Kuchar

I have EBC Greenstuff pads fitted on my car and although I don't drive the car very hard i can say that the pads work great and produce almost NO BRAKE DUST.

My local brake shop got them for me. A good source is also Zeckhausen (http://www.zeckhausen.com/CDV.htm) he has them listed on the website. Or, Stop Tech

Axxis Deluxe Plus is your solution. Running them on my other bimmer and I have forgotten what dust is. Just water and soap on the wheels and they look new. No brushing or anything.
Zeckhausen knows his stuff, too.

I like the OEM pads. First, because once you get them clean and waxed or covered with Rejex, then it's not too hard to keep them clean, second, they really are effective, and third, the status of the wheels (IMHO) gives you some idea whether or not a person is maintaining his/her car...i.e. if the wheels are dirty, how well was the rest of the car maintained? 
BMW OEM pads are very $hit for the rims, loads of dust :thumbsdown:

Does BMW actually have low dust brake pads available as replacements? Or is it necessary to buy indie ones and have them fitted?

My Ride: 2011, X6 Hybrid . Alpine White , every option. 20" Conti' NON runflats,OEM trunk spoiler , LUX V3 AE's , HP Thunder Fogs , custom front bumper reflector delete........
Does anyone know if these pads impact braking performance ? I don't like brake dust but I can live with the minor inconvenience of washing my wheels regularly.

Redstuff has a better cold bite and much lower amount of dust than Greenstuff. EBC recommends Redstuff for 200HP+ RWD cars. I have them on order, I will make comments here when I'll fit them.

red stuff is a bit too much is you have stock rotors, need to change them too.
