Brake pad recommedation for 4.8iS please

I have the 4.8iS brakes on my X5 (see signature!) they are absolutely amazing! they stop like boat anchors!!! driving over the rocky mountains, down the long switch back corners with downhill stretches upwards of 20 km at a time! with ZERO brake fade!!! I love these brakes, best upgrade I ever did!!! BUT, there is always a But!! they leave an unbelievable amount of dust on my rims!!! I am running the stock pads for the 4.8iS (textar I believe)
I am wondering if there are any of the 4.6iS/4.8iS brotherhood out there that could recommend a pad that doesn't dust as bad as the stockers!?
thanx
