Yes everyone has problems with brake dust because X5's have huge front disc brakes. GVW is like 5000-6000 lbs and X eats brakes fo breakfast. You can try switching to a "low dust" pad, like AXXIS Deluxe. You can also try using your breaks less, and driivng in tiptronic mode - downshifting to engine brake. As for dust covers, i am not sure. Might look pretty gay. There are already covers behind the rotors.
