I have about 1000 miles on the Akebono Euro ceramic pads that were installed on my VW R32. The black brake dust has been reduced by about 90%. I can drive the car for a full week on my 60 mile RT commute and the wheels still look clean at the end of the week. I checked the Akebono website and they are still only showing front pads for the E89 Z4. I have emailed them and asked when the might have the rears available. I am guessing it is the new parking brake that is delaying the rear pads. What other BMWs are using the type of parking brake that is in the Z? If anyone finds a source of low dust pads for both the front and rear please let me know. I am really tired of cleaning my wheels after every drive.
