Brake Dust

In the BMW literature it states:

The latest generation of BMW brake pads are optimized for minimized break dust and decrease break disc wear. While brake dust will still be created, it will take longer to occur and can be cleaned off more easily than prior generations of BMW brake pads.

blah blah.. I call BS on that. These things dirty up just as much as my 2000 540i prior to getting Akebonos.

Has anyone swapped their pads out? I'm debating swapping these OE's for Akebonos. They pretty much eliminated my break dust issues on my 540i.

This has been brought up several times, including once by me. No one has chimed in yet with a company that is currently producing a replacement for the F90. Maybe the OP knows something we don't.

Reach out to ACG Automotive in San Diego; they developed a Carbon Kevlar low dust Brake pad. I ordered both fronts and rears and will have them installed soon.

Reached out to them as well but they said more than likely in the Fall; I was not going to wait that long.

I use this for the time being until low dust pads are released and tested.... works great but it loses effect the moment it rains;

Brake Dust

Hello fellow M members. Sold my F10 this week and stepping into my F90 M this weekend. Already looking at upgrades - both performance and otherwise.

Brake pads - I have been using Carbotech low dust pads on both my E60 M and my F10 M for the entire time as well as my other cars. Always been very happy with them as they are racers as well as being able to tell you exactly what type of pads you need for what environment. You can check the F10 reads for info on experiences. Going to put them on my F90 first chance I get.

I'm not 100% Carbotech has an F90 application yet but I may be wrong.

I'll let you know tomorrow. Usually, if they are not on the site, you can call in and check to see if they are just not listed yet. Had to do this for my wife's SRT Grand Cherekee when they switched brakes.
