Looking into this myself. On many other cars I have run Akebono Ceramics and cured a brake dust issue, including an Audi that made almost as much dust as my E70. Given modern technology I think it is ridiculous BMW spec's pads that make SO MUCH dust. My Porsche's don't, most cars don't.
Alsalsa, still having bad dust problems? Anyone else solve the dust issue?

I have the brake dust covers on my stock 18s, they work great keeping the wheels cleaner longer. You canbuy them off ebay or other sources. Goes on between the rotor and the wheel.
Here is a sample for 20" wheels

Have Akebono pads and Zimmerman rotors. Very, very little dust (if at all, that may be just dirt).
To be honest, I miss the way the brake-dusty OEM pads grabbed and had instant braking effect. But, I am slowly getting used to and adjusting to the way Akebonos brake. Not missing the OEM brake dust at all.

I have Akebono pads on my E55 and they are amazing. I recently changed the BMW X5 pads out for Akebono's as well. They have almost NO dust in the fronts or rears. Something's not right. I drive a little aggressive and don't baby the X5 when breaking either. I haven't washed my wheels in over 1500 miles/5 weeks and almost no dust.
