For street manners but still functional for autocross purposes I liked the Hawk HPS 5.0.
I run Hawk HPS which have reduced dust as compared to the factory OE Brembo pads. They are quiet enough too.
Hawk HP 5.0 was a decent enough upgrade for my tuned S5 and still perfectly fine for street use for my first few track days.
HAWK HPS 5.0 on mine currently - no complaints. Keeps the Linear pedal feel (doesnt bite hard in the beginning then dies out if that makes sense) and stops much better than the OEMs. It does dust a bit but nothing crazy.
I got the brembo pads from autozone. They squealed a little for about 100 miles but are quite now. The car has some crazy stopping power, it is the S model.
my strategy when I started to run into a similar type of problem (brake pads disintegrating and eating my budget) was to go to endurance race pads - for me the Hawk ER1 pads seem to be working well.
I use Hawk Blue pads, they brake great and don't wear out.
Discs are the ones it came with from the factory, pads are Brembo (M Performance brakes on 340i)
Ik heb 4 nieuwe remblokken van Brembo onder mijn Mazda CX 3 en ik was nog minder als de helft van jou kwijt dus dit is wel een beetje oplichting.
Used Brembo pads on my 535d, then gave them another try on my i30N. Will never buy again. Suitable only for casual, calm driving around the city. Overheat very easily, overall stopping performance got worse, brake pedal feeling became harder.
