By now you are probably used to it, why not just keep them on untill they wear out...
Are you also one of those people that keeps plastic on with your new electronics?
Dont tell me that with all that blogging you havent found time to actually spend 5 minutes to take off plastics. I am sorry, is it wrong to be upset to see a such an expensive vehicle covered up in plastic as if you are still considering to return it! If you feel good on driving on plastic, why didnt you get leatherette in the first place, I hear its more durable.
Sorry, had to vent...
now feel much better, especially after sticking in all the smilies

EBC makes ceramic aftermarket pads. Redstuff X5 4.8i front EBC# DP31472C Rear EBC# DP 31118C. You will get more dust on the front than rear this is normal. Pop that gromet back in. Once you get the new pads wax the wheels with Zaino or another good polymer based wax this will make it easier to rinse the dust off and protect from imbedded brake dust. Do the front of the wheel and back of the wheel in all the crevices. Hey where are the babes???

Stop complaining about that. Just take it back to the dealer and let them do their job.

Regarding the brake dust, just wax the wheels as suggested. If you change the pads and they wear out BMW is not going to replace them with your upgraded pads. Brake dust is a minor issue. It's worth it if for the next 4 years or 50K miles someone else will be maintaining your ride.

IMHO. Poor PDI done by the dealer that they didn't notice the rubber gromet I'd go back and get them to sort it out.

You will notice more brake dust on the wheels at the moment as the car is new and the brakes are bedding in. Will reduce slightly after the first 300 miles.
