A dealer buddy of mine just mentioned these new pads that he found while searching for his 300C.
Centric Posi Quiet
Taken from his post on another board
"Some of you may know that I bought a 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8 recently. (Don't worry, I still have the BMW!) One of the first things I noticed about the new car, besides the incredible hoursepower and torque, was the fact that my wheels became black in just a few miles of driving. I don't mean black, like factory BMW pads. I mean 5 times worse than that! I have never seen brakes emit as much caustic, wheel-attacking dust in such a short time. Those factory Brembo brakes were terrible!
As part of my quest to solve the dust problem, I stumbled across a pad manufactured by Centric Parts (the new owners of StopTech) called the Posi-Quiet Semi-Metallic. Nobody else made anything (at the time) for the SRT8 Brembo brakes. This pad has turned out to have the same ultra-low dust characteristics of the Axxis D+ pads, without the loss in cold bite and slightly higher pedal effort. They also come with composite shims attached, so they do not squeal. If you've been reluctant to try the Axxis D+ pads (or have them and simply want more bite), you might want to give these a try next time your "Check Brake Linings" message appears on the dash. They are available for the E39 M5."
Description from his website
"Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear pads offer a stable friction level across a wide temperature range. Low dust, long pad & rotor life, low noise, w/OE designed shims to reduce pad vibration and squeal. Not a track pad."
I have yet to see a board sponsor offer these yet but maybe with enough interest they might. My buddy offers them from his site but I really am trying to support our own board's sponsors and advice the members. While many members prefer the higher CF performance pads, some prefer a high quality lower dusting OEM style pad. This would be the pad for them. Prices are about 50-60 front and 50 rear.
