I think they worked great I had no issue couldn't tell the difference from the dirty ones.
They were about $65 rear/$75 front from Amazon. Just get the right part number from Akebono site and go shopping! Nothing listed for any 2 series yet, but just a matter of time. Meanwhile, a coat of wheel wax on the new wheels will help keep the dust from adhering to the surfaces.
