So if this is coming off the brake rotors, everyone on the road along with you is affected right? Is this slated as another negative of the good performing brakes they provide (like the brake dust)?

Anyway, the only time it bothers me is when I'm looking at every inch of the paint. You really can't see it when walking by and doing your normal thing around the car. I wonder though, if this is specific to the E70 only... in which case we don't know the long-term effects on the paint job overall. I tried clay-barring some of it and even that didn't work in some spots. Would've been way too much to do anyway, not to mention it would be ongoing.
