As you all know and have heard a million times, the brake dust on these cars is beyond comprehension. Worse than Porsche, Audi, etc. The OEM cinnamon textured dust has etched itself into my CSL wheels, to the point I nearly need a refinish after only 8 months. How BMW allows this to continue is one of life’s greatest mysteries.

Solution: European Auto Source lunch break brake pad swap to iSweep 1500.

The dust from the iSweep is a much more translucent color, rather than brown like OEM, about 90% less dust overall than OEM, and extremely easy to clean off.

On OEM pads, one trip to LA and back to OC (about 85 miles round trip) would turn my wheels full BRONZE looking, and require a full power wash scrub down.

Now on iSweep, I could probably do 4 or 5 trips of a similar duration, and still not have the horrific cinnamon bronze look.

Absolute game changer, and life enhancement. Worth every cent times 50000.

Photo with red mirror caps shows my wheels after 100 miles on OEM pads, to display the cinnamon bronze look, and the photo with Zandvoort mirror caps, and close up, shows the wheels after about 300 miles - pure black and looks nearly dust free.

Brake feel is exactly the same. No squeaking either.

This is a no brainer, must have mod.
