Also, since you added aftermarket, non-approved BMW brake pads...what will happen when you need rotors? I have a feeling BMW will not want to pay for your rotors, since you "micky-moused" with the brakes, and put aftermarket pads. Hmmmm..... I love free maintenance, but dust free pads would be so nice.
How much less is the brake dust? 50% 100%??

There are so many different types of pads, you'll either have to rely on reviews or try them yourself. I think Jurid supplies BMW but other brands are similar like Textar, Pagid, ATE.....
TPM? Do you mean the brake sensor wire? TPM refers to the tire pressure monitor. As for the brake sensor, you don't have to replace it if its still good.
For everyday driving I doubt you would notice the performance difference between OEM BMW pads and economy from Midas.
"I have a feeling BMW will not want to pay for your rotors, since you "micky-moused" with the brakes"
BMW could claim the pad you put on is more aggressive and created excessive wear.....you could always put the OEM pads back on before taking it to the dealer and getting free rotors.....
