Michelin does/used to do a spray that really did prevent brake dust. Here is a review: http://www.autopia.org/forum/car-det...ne-w-pics.html

Brake Dust
I had read posts that the 135 had a bit of brake dust but I had no idea what that really meant. It is impossible to keep the wheels clean on this thing. Even a 15 mile drive will cover the wheels.
I would rather have built in wheel washers than headlight washers. LOL |

This is a known BMW quip, but something that us owners have to accept for now. We are currently awaiting word for an Axxis Deluxe Plus application for the 1 series.

Thread merge.
While the brakes make much dust, there is a grateful(?) Boxer(dog) still alive today thanks to this car's absolutely amazing brakes. "Delinquent Boxer, you owe the brake engineers at BMW", I yelled at the beast, he/she/it returned an obligatory stupid grin. Lucky creature...
