Low dust brake pads?

So I've had my F36 for just over a week and although its been great so far I cant get over the amount of brake dust already coating the wheels. Does anyone have recommendations for some low dust brake pads?

If you want a pad that offers similar levels of performance with lower dust try Pagid. Worthwhile sealing the alloys too. I did this last year for the first time and impressed with how easy the wheels are to clean now.

You need a ceramic pad like the EBC redstuff.

I found that Yellow stuff were pretty good for increased performance and less brake dust, however, you'll still get a some. Sealing the wheels was the best thing i ever did. Pressure washer gets them 90% clean.

Those are both semi metallic pads, which will always produce lots of dust.

Seal your alloys and go for any pad you like.

My wheels get sealed off the car every time I change to winters. My fronts got replaced under warrantee a couple of months ago and they get so dirty without any sealant on.

I use DoDo Supernatural Wheel Sealant. Though other ceramic treatments do much the same thing.

As others have said they wash up really easily. Also, the amount of rain/spray that comes through the brake cooling ducts seems to be enough to almost wash them when treated!...
