I have Akebono Euro pads on my wife's roadster... Little to no brake dust and solid stopping power... When the time comes, I will probably put them on my X5..

I wanted Akebono but dealer is out of stock and he said I have to wait for several weeks.

So I went with Brembo instead. Stopping power is similar with OEM, SIGNIFICANLY lesser brake dust but noisy during slow speed braking (stop and go traffic)...
My OEM was also a bit noisy, so I don't know if the noise is caused by the pads or the rotors

What kind of noise do you mean? Squeal noise?
Mine makes those noise and the dealers say it is normal..

Are those Akebono, ceramic pads?
not too crazy about them, had them on my X5 but boy no dust yes but scary braking power. I like some compromise and I think my X6 may need new pads this summer.
any link to any of those pads?
