Is there anything possible I can do to cut down on the break dust from my 545i w/ sport package? I've only put 2500 miles on the wheels and they are starting to turn yellowish in the front. I wash it every 2 days and wash the inside with a bug scruber but it's not working. I know I'm gonna have to get them sand blasted again and re-powdercoated next year( it's put up for the winter) any suggestions on cleaning agents(aside from wheel cleaner) or rotor break pad combo to reduce the staining? I had a Honda with white painted wheels and never had this problem...thanks guys.

There have been 8 bazillion posts about dust free and low dust brake pads on this forum. Do a search and your prayers will be answered.

Powdercoat your wheels a darker color.
