Is there a low dust brake pad set for the ///M's?

I know they had them for the standard Z4, I bought a set of Axxis pads and they were much better and were mostly dust free,

I have noticed a dust coating from the M brakes, Not as bad as the Z4 was but still there,

What do you guys have?
 
Akebono makes some too, the M Coupe guys I know running these have nothing but good things to say about them.

Yes, much less dust and the dust they make does not seem to be as black. I bought them from Zeckhausen and when I ordered them they "warned" me that there would be a difference in braking. As they put it, the stock M pads are too touchy or sensitive whereas the Axxis pads are more predictable. One could interpret that as the Axxis pads do not stop as well. Since I don't race or drive the car real hard I can't answer that. I will say, however, that immediately after changing them out I definitely noticed a difference and was a bit bummed out. I am now very happy with them. Whether I got used to them or they improved over time I don't know. But I do remember reading somewhere that the stock pads are so dirty because BMW engineered them with one thing in mind >>> performance, and to hell with aesthetics; and the best formulation for performance just happens to make your wheels look like crap in a very short time. :pinch:
