Brakes

Ok, so I just bought a MINI. I have white rims on it and notice that I have to clean them twice a week due to, I guess brake dust. So does that mean that MINI uses graphite brakes? Can I get something better or different at least?

yea a common solution is semi racing pads like green stuff, from mossmini.com or minimania,
or you could get hawk pads, but it is known that the factory pads make a ridicilous amount of brake dust
