:
Since I'm using the slotted rotors I have a lot less brake dust. About 5 or 7 slot/each side would greatly reduce brake dusting and improve cooling for the rotors.

Also I'm planning to remove those ugly splash shields so therefore less dust will came to the outside. I checked and none of the Ferrari's and Lamborghini's has them so i guess my bimmer can go without them as well. What exactly they are desgined for anyway ? Keep the water out of the rotor ? Hardly understandable becuse the other side is barely covered with the wheel, so then what's the point to have them on ?
