In my opinion brake dust is one of the compromises we accept in
exchange for powerful, predictable, non-fading brakes.  I'm not
sure how much of my 02 brake pad experience applies to your M 
Roadster, but I can say for sure that the EBC Green pads I have 
are *not* dustless.  They are better than some and worse than 
others.
