Performance brake pads
I see Axxis and EBC have ceramic pads listed in thier product lists for 2007's. Anybody doing this? The brake dust is terrible!

I currently use the EBC on my X. You can tell the difference in the brake dust reduction. It is worth it! The aftermarket pad have a split down the middle, where the O.E.M. pads do not. That is one of the reasons why the dust just builds up on the rims so much more w/stock pads. Go for it.

I'm with you guys - the brake dust is insane on the E70 - far worse then our old E53.

The last time I checked, this is the information I recieved on aftermarket pads:

The new E70 X5 uses the D1294 front pad shape. The rear pad shape depends on your engine size. In either case, the aftermarket has not yet produced any pads for the front of your X5. If you have the 4.8i, then there are some low dust pads for the rear. But not for the 3.0si.

Which EBC pads are you using? Do you feel any degradation or improvement in braking?
