Brake pad alternative with less dust?

The amount of brake dust generated on these breaks is just crazy, I wash the car weekly and literally, the next day got a thick layer of dust all over them, not even driving it hard or anything. I'm used to the dust on 911s but this is something else. Anyone try a different pad that generates less dust to tackle the issue? really wish ceramics were an option...

Yes saw that already, but that's for the M50i, not the X5M model. Powerstop site doesn't have one listed for the X5M.

have you tried cross referencing models? in the above thread, someone found out one particular 7-series M Sport variant has pads that are the same sizes as the G05 M Sport pads.
