True for lots of dustless pads. The OEM pads use graphite to stop squeal, hence the black dust.

Axxis/PBR/Repco/Metalmaster, same pad with different names in different countries, used to use copper in the pad for the same reason. I never had squeal issues installing these for years in other cars. I am trying to wear out my current X5 pads prior to changing them out for PBR/Repco. Lots of good reports on the Axxis-branded pads in the US, and they appear to have the original PBR ingredients, with a variety of formulations depending on application.
