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.. Zeckhausen Racing

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).

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.

I had Carbotech make me there ceramic bonded pads, can drive for weeks before I need to clean the wheels. Stops the same as oem pads!
