Dustless Pads - Suggestions?
 
I have read where many have complained about the amount of BRAKE
DUST & what a pain it is to keep the wheels clean.
.
This will be my first mod to the E70 to Arrive April 4.
.
Any suggestions as to what is the best DUSTLESS pad for the E70??
.
On my Passat, I switched to PBR Deluxe and they work great.

you can try Zeckhausen.com. I can tell you this though, I've been waiting for Axxis pads for my e92 and its still not available. I figured the car is still new, so it'll be a while for aftermarket stuff hits the market. So until then, I'm cleaning rims at least twice a week :(

Waxing the wheels helps.

This is the first I've heard of dustless pads... are they any good and do they have any positive/negative impact on the functionality of the brakes?

I think it'll be a while before Axxis pads are available for the E70. Waxing should be a decent solution till then.

Many owners use the Axxis Deluxe pads since they don't dust. There are no disadvantages.

Dinner plate size rotors PLUS brakes equal dust...regardless of pads. Upgrading pads can help but waxing rims (as was noted) will probably provide more use.

These are known as Ceramic Pads. You can try Hawk Pads as well.

Regular Axxis pads are not dustless, however, produce much less dust than OEM BMW pads. BMW's OEM pads are very soft material and wear - produce dust - very quickly. Unless you competitively race your car, you will not notice the difference with the Axxis pads. Except the greatly reduced dust of course.

The only dustless pads are ceramic pads, which Axxis does make also.
