Anyone aware if low dusting pads are in the works?

I love just about everything on my X3MC except the brake dust.

My winter wheels have more nooks and crannies than an English muffin and take longer to wash then the car.

I really want to swap to a low dust alternative.

Are any companies currently developing one?

I worry that since this is a rather niche vehicle that no one will come out with any

I too was looking for replacements for my m40, as in ceramic.

Not that I have come across yet. The x3m brakes aren't the same as the m40?

That I am not sure. I thought they were different, but could be wrong.
