Brake Dust Question

[alexey21]

Hi guys.
Wanted to first say that its been a week almost since I ordered the 2013 M5 for European delivery.

One question I have that is killing me here! I own a e60 550i M sport, and the break dust on that car is unbelievable. My rims are always getting dark after I wash the car. Black within a week. Sometimes it is impossible to even get the rims 100% clean. Is this the same issue with the M5?

Please let me know because I am about to go wash my current car, and can not imagine having to clean the rims the same way on the M5.

In comparing to the E60, it's considered marginally better for the F10 M5... however, if you want to comapre the E60 to F10 regular 5 series, the latter is vastly better.

One time I noticed that if I dont clean the rims regularly on the 550i, the break dust sort of burns into the rims, and then I can hardly get it clean. So I was just wondering how often I would need to clean them, and how bad they get.

For my M5, I clean them once a week

Wax the wheels, and the headlamps, and the glass windows, and the windshield, and the mirrors... WAX everything with good wax and watch that breakdust fall off when simply squirted with a quick wipe.. No pores, dirt doesn't stick. Wax was the original rain x on the windshield
