Brake Dust...

Has anyone noticed any brake dust improvement on 2009 or 2010s? I heard rumors (don't recall where) that BMW was listening to complaints about brake dust..

if no improvement, i am going with these babies..

I picked up my car last week and there is no improvement. I noticed a decent amount of brake dust after only 75 miles or so (lots of city driving, though).

Another 30 or so miles on the car today; wheels are almost black... Time for a cleaning.

Just received those pads from Zeckhausen to. Haven't had time to change them yet though as I'm waiting for when I install the winter wheels/tires. Sick and tired of the brake dust on the 214's. The brake dust on these cars is the worst I have ever experienced in a BMW.

Yeah, I cleaned and polished my stock 210 wheels today... I love them. They are the easiest wheels to clean and polish I have ever had! And they look OK as well.

The 214's do look really nice, but I sure was glad today that it was the 210's in front of my wheel wax rag!

I wash my 214's once a week. I find using a wheel wax every couple of months makes maintaining the wheels easier.
