I run Akebono pads and they barely create any dust compared to oem pads. There is less of an initial bite when braking though

Pros: less dust
Cons: less initial bite

TRW Brake pads

I can recommend TRW „DTEC“ pads. Almost no brake dust, no squeaking, good bite on the breaks. The only trade of is that when it’s really cold or raining and you drive on the highway for a long time, the first half of a second when you break again the performance is weak. That’s what I experienced. I never had this with the original pads in winter time or heavy rain.

Pros: no dust, no squeaking
Cons: weak performance in cold/rain
Part number: DTEC

Akebono Brake pads

The brake pads you use make a huge difference. I had a Mustang before I bought my 340i that was insanely dusty, so I switched to ceramic pads and it’s made a massive difference. I’ve used them ever since. My car is mostly a garage queen who sees a back road on rare days when the sun is just right, so they’re perfect for me.

Pros: massive difference, low dust

Zimmermann is quality. If you want OEM brake feel go with Textar or Pagid pads. I have Akebono pads on the Z3 and don’t like them

Pros: Zimmermann quality
Cons: Akebono pads disliked
Vehicle: BMW Z3
