same here nearly once a week... you just get used to it. Just like wiping off the soot from the rear aero kit. ;)

I'm going to use a product called Nanolex Rim Sealant on my new rims prior to putting them on .. it's sposed to be the bees knees to allow brake dust to be removed easily...

I tried spraying Rain-x on the wheels. They still collected dust but seemed to clean off much easier.:dunno:

No improvements at all, and I should know. I owned an '03 e53, and now own an '08 e70.

You want BMW brakes, you must deal with BMW brake dust.

great story. glad all turned out ok. according to Dave at Zeckhausen racing, the pads I bought have identical grip as bmw pads... i trust the man, this is 5th set of pads i am buying from him for various vehicles.

BMW pads are rotors are soft for such reasons...
Have ran low dust pads from Zeck, and while the dust is considerably lower than OEM, I did not like how the pads were when cold IMO. YMMV and given the options again....I'm back onto dusty dirty pads...
