sick of the stock brake pad dust

I hate the level of dust produced by these pads.


My M3 has akebono ceramic pads and they have a great feel, strong initial bite, and almost zero dust. I was thinking about getting a set for my Z4M, hoping they will perform identically to the ones on my E36 M3.

Question: Whats the dealer going to say about this? Any warranty issues?

Dealer won't care or know unless you have a problem. I don't know anything about these pads, but if you start burning through rotors, the dealer's going to cry foul (unless you have a really cool SA).
