Dust is almost non-existent, probably not as good as CCB, but certainly very good and 100 times better than the OEM pads.
Like most of these discussions, this one is subjective to say the least. It really boils down to the individual and whether CCB's are $8.5k better than simply replacing the pads. For some it is, for others it is not ... also dependent of what you put the car to do (street vs track.).
Some say I'm a fool for spending $ on Xpel PPF on the entire car, I say I love a car that looks perfect and don't like rock chips, scratches etc.
You get my point; enjoy your CCB's and I'll enjoy my aftermarket pads LOL.

Totally agree. I changed to aftermarket pads on my F10 and had much less dust. I also covered my whole F90 in XPEL. There's just nothing that can match PPF protection and peace of mind.
