Axxis list a rear pad (part # 45-1024WD) that is the Deluxe Advanced version. That is the new name for the pad that used to be the Deluxe. They are very low dust. I have used Axxis pads successfully, but not on an E70. Some distributors call these a ceramic pad. I don't think of them as a ceramic, and the Axxis site refers to them as an organic pad. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Axxis also list a front pad (part # 45-12940X) that is the Extended Duty pad. I haven't used this formulation. They are rated almost as dustless as the Deluxe Advanced pad by Axxis, same noise characteristics, and better pedal feel. They are described as a semi-metallic pad. I would call Dave at Zeckhausen Racing (www.zeckhausenracing.com) and discuss it with him. He doesn't list the above pads on his site, but he should be able to get them.

JCL, The rear pads are not really the issue. The front pads however use a "new" pad shape (d1294) which is not readily available. In addition I believe the pads are larger on the 4.8i since the rotors are also larger.I would prefer matching pads front and rear. I will look into the Extended duty pads with Dave. THX for the info.

Axxis lists the same pads for the 2007-2008 E70, whether it is a 3.0 or 4.8.
I would also prefer matching pads front and rear, but I would suggest you put the Axxis pads on the front first, and solve most of the dust problem, while determining if brake balance front/rear has been negatively impacted.
