Ceramic Tint all around, Bilstein Sports shocks with Eibach springs, Brake performance Rotors and Axxis ceramic pads.
I have similar problem before, I replaced it with axxis pads and it solve the problem. Now, I only clean my wheels only everytime I clean the whole car as compared before that I have to clean the wheels every other day.

the dust is a result of the pad doing its job.
Give your rims a good coat of Wheel wax or Rejex after cleaning them.

Do you experience any squeaking with the below pads since they are not BMW OEM? Thanks

get yourself some low dust brake pads....
Trinity Autosport carries Axxis Deluxe pads (that's what I have and from whom I bought them from)
AcutePerformance carries Hawk pads
both will fix the brake dust
***one of the best investments I made aside from my 166's, really makes my car look clean all the time

There are 4 different types of AXXIS, which one did you get?
May I ask how much did it cost?
