Any break dust issues on X1 M35i?
For M35i owners that's been driving awhile, any break dust issues? Being a previous M owner I know that's always been a big problem and nuisance (unless you had CC brakes). I'm hoping you'll say no lol

in all honesty though, the rotors and pads on this car are very large for a car this size, so you will see quite a bit of brake dust build up (BMW's in general are notorious for this) |

get the wheels ceramic coated as early as possible. makes cleaning the brake dust off the wheels as easy as spraying them with pressure washer.

Every BMW I’ve had has more brake dust than any other car I’ve owned, the X1 is no exception. They get dirty quite quickly. Ceramic coating and a good iron decontamination wheel cleaner occasionally work wonders at keeping it easy to clean.

I have brake dust on my 28i, so I can't see how there wouldn't be brake dust on the M35i.

safe to say that as long as you're regularly washing your car, the brake dust that does accumulate will come off relatively easy, found out today as the car was washed and the calipers and wheels both came out fairly free of dust.

I have zero break dust issue on my X1! Yay!
Unfortunately, the wheels do get a lot of brake dust.  |
