I will be coming up to a front brake change soon, Im looking for brake pads that dont produce so much brake dust like the oem and still have a good brake performance???
Just wanted to confirm if the best choice would be the Hawk hps?

I have used Posi-quiets on quite a few vehicles and love them. My wifes 3 series produces next to no brake dust with those pads on.

I use Cool Carbon pads on my 3 series and get next to no brake dust and quiet too.

how does the cool carbon compare to oem as far as brake performance??? I see everyone is happy that the cool carbon has no brake dust but i want to know if it has the same bite as oem in hot or start up performance??

Cool Carbon is far better than oem! bite was stronger and i mean from the start. But i haven't tried them on my 5 series yet.

I've had success with both Akkebono and Axxis Deluxe Advanced pads.
