335i Brake Pads Upgrade

I know there are other threads discussing this already, but there is so much talk and such little good advice it seems.

Things I would like from new pads:
Less dust, no squeal, similar braking (or better ofcourse)

Here are the options from what I've found so far:
Hawk Street
Centric Semi-Metallic
EBC Yellowstuff

What's the best bet? Am I overlooking something great?

I have the 2013 m sport, but do not have the m performance brake kit.

I wish we had a sticky thread with pads that will fit the type of brake setup.

I can't comment on what's best, but Porterfield makes pads for 335i M Sport/M Performance brakes.

+1. I have them. RS4 = much less dust, very similar feel with slightly less initial bite, but a bit more bite at full force. OEM had great initial bite but not much more after that. These seem to allow for some modulation. Others have used them on track with good results too. Mine are only used on the street and purchased solely for less dust without sacrificing performance like ceramic pads can do.
