Honestly, I totally get the frustration with the OEM pads—the dust is just ridiculous on the G80. I tried the EBC Brakes Yellowstuff DP42460R recently and, unfortunately, they were not as good as expected for daily driving. They squealed way too much for my taste. For your situation, I would suggest iSweep IS1500 Brake Pads. They offer a much cleaner experience with almost zero dust, though you lose a tiny bit of that aggressive initial bite compared to stock. If you're hitting backroads hard, they handle the heat way better than the factory setup without the 'freight train' noise!

+1 to what was said earlier. Honestly, I've had issues with some of the more expensive "track" pads squealing like crazy on the commute too. If you're looking for a budget-friendly way to kill the dust while keeping some bite, I'd suggest Isweep IS1500 Brake Pads. They're significantly cheaper than a full BBK and way cleaner than OEM. But if you're really pushing backroads, pair them with Castrol SRF React Racing Brake Fluid to handle the temps without breaking the bank. Hope this helps!

Story time: I went through this exact same headache last year with my own G80. Honestly, the brake dust on the stock pads is just soul-crushing—I’d spend an hour cleaning those 826M wheels only for them to look like charcoal after a twenty-minute spirited run! I totally get the fade issue too; once you start pushing the G80's weight on technical roads, the OEM compound definitely shows its street-biased limits.

After researching for months and dealing with some trial and error, I finally found a setup that worked for my heavy-footed driving style without the 'freight train' noise mentioned earlier. Here’s what I’ve learned from my journey:

* **The Low Dust Hero:** I switched to iSweep IS1500 Brake Pads for BMW G80 M3 and the difference in cleanliness is absolutely night and day. Seriously, I can go a full week now without the wheels looking neglected. The bite is a bit more linear than stock, which I actually prefer for smooth trail braking.
* **The Technical Upgrade:** For those weekend canyon runs where I was worried about fade, I paired the pads with Castrol SRF React Racing Brake Fluid and a set of Goodridge Stainless Steel Brake Lines for BMW G80. This completely firmed up the pedal feel and gave me way more confidence when the temps climbed.

In my opinion, the iSweeps are fantastic for a 90% street/10% aggressive backroad mix. If you're doing serious track days, you'll eventually want a dedicated pad, but for what you're describing? This combo changed the car for me! Hope this helps! 🏎️

Regarding what #6 said about "+1 to what was said earlier. Honestly, I've..."

• I actually had some issues with the iSweeps after long-term use. They are amazing for keeping the wheels clean, but unfortunately, they werent as good as expected when I really pushed the car on those twisty backroads. The initial bite just felt a bit too soft for a car this heavy, tbh. If you want something with more oomph that handles heat better, look into the PowerStop Z26 Extreme Street Performance Brake Pads. They are a solid alternative that keeps the dust low but bites way harder than the 1500s. Also, quick tip... make sure you swap your fluid for Motul RBF 600 Factory Line if youre dealing with fade. Most people blame the pads when its actually the fluid getting too hot.
