Does BMW or any aftermarket people make a dust shield? Or does IPD or anyone make dustless pads for the E60?

Does BMW or any aftermarket people make a dust shield? Or does IPD or anyone make dustless pads for the E60?I'm looking into low dust pads for the E60 and will let the board know when I've found them. It generally takes the aftermarket at least a year to come up with something on the assumption that the majority of people won't be swapping pads before they've worn out. Given the 4-year free maintenence agreement, it may take even longer for the aftermarket to jump in, since demand for their pads should remain low for a while.

I wouldn't go with a dust shield. I know they're vented and all but I've had these things before (not a BMW) and since I used to live in a hilly area, my brakes would fade and also noticed a shorten rotor life. Just my opinion.....
