That's normal.
If you buy low-dust pads, you are going to get less dust, but you'll get a little bit less braking grip.
Do you have slotted or drilled rotors?

no way to avoid dust try ceramic pads if you aren't using them already. that might help a little bit.

There's no way around that. There's a spray to protect your wheels from the dust. It creates an invisible barrier/shield and it just rinses off, but they still get dusty anyway.

Yeah ceramic pads are the way to go if you are worried about dust. OEM BMW pads are aggressive for high performance and produce a lot of dust. My 335 did the same thing.

Welcome to German car ownership

Good brakes > clean wheels Drive it hard and enjoy it for what it's supposed to do, which isn't parking hard.

To clean the break dust off of my rims, I use Eagle One A2Z All Wheel & Tire Cleaner. It's really good and it does not damage your wheels or brakes. But, you should double check your wheels and apply a small amount.
