The online vendors offer Zimmerman/Akebono kits, I installed one on the front of my E92 and brake dust is nearly eliminated. The Akebono Ceramic pads might have slightly less bite but I'm happy with them.

OE is likely ATE or Pagid. Zimmermann is totally 100% fine OEM alternative.
I’m getting issues with rotors warping on my 2002 E53. I bought Zimmermann smooth rotors couple of years ago and they’ve been lathed couple of times now. At one point I had to replace Zimmermann pads too as they were excreting glue or something that caused “falling stars” on the rotor faces.
Zimmermann's Coat Z rotors are excellent. I've used them on many BMWs with no issues.
I personally have the Zimmerman Rotors, and Akebono pads. Great, cheap setup.
Zimmerman-Akebono combination is blizz
I use Zimmermans too & EBC red stuff pads much less dust then standard & nicer bite
Used Zimmerman rotors with Akebono pads
I use Zimmerman rotors and OEM pads from fcpeuro. I like the bite the oem pads have compared to ceramic. More brake dust yes, but I want a car to stop as fast as possible.
I've run Zimmerman rotors with EBC red stuff ceramic pads. No complaints.
