I brought this topic up in a previous post regarding dust free brake pads for the M. I ordered and received a set of pads (front and rear) which would be equal to or better than the stock pads without the annoying brake dust. Had them installed last week and have been using them for almost a week now. I am happy to report that they are great pads with no signs so far of the dreaded brake dust on the wheels. The company that I ordered them from is Carbotech and they have an excellent reputation for which includes many types of applications and includes several racing classes as well. The braking qualities are as good or better as before but I have not had the chance to test them at higher speeds yet. I liked them enough that I ordered them for my wife's 335i. Hope this helps those with questions about the annoying brake dust.
