Correct. Us 05 owners are blessed with really good brakes, right up there with the Brembos. Yes, I know this will most likely start the "I have Brembo's and you don't so you are Jealous!" routine again. So far, the '05's stops just as good as the Brembos, but with less brake dust and high maintenance costs. Yes, I wouldn't mind having the Brembos on the 05 but so far, I haven't seen a need for the Brembos. I don't track my car so the 05's are fine.
So, to answer your questions, I have seen alot of Brembos owners complain about the dust. To prevent them? You wanna trade? I don't mind brake dusts

Also noticed the problem. And there is no way around it, other than not using the brakes. You can downshift whenever you can, but you always gonna have brake dust. I noticed that if you don't let it build up too much, you can easily wipe it with a dry cloth without washing. Have an old t-shirt in your trunk and just wipe the wheels whenever the dust starts bothering you. Be glad you have one of the best brakes in the world and don't stress too much, is my advice. Good luck.

or better yet

both work very well.
My car has horrible brake dust too, that wheel sealant I linked probably eliminates 80% of it from sticking.
