Check Brake Wear Message - Which brake pads to recommend?

I've driven my 2016 C300 4M for 40000 KM(25000 Miles) and the Check Brake Wear message came on yesterday. Unless it's something faulty, I think it might be time to change the brakes on my car.

As we know with the W205's the wheels are just a magnet for brake dust. Are there any brake pads you'd recommend aside from OEM ones? I might as well change to something better and with less brake dust.

Thanks in Adv.

I've used Axxis pads on my 2002 325 and 2005 z4 BMWs, good grip, long lasting, and NO dust.

Can't really recommend anything with less brake dust but i can recommend you one that bites really well for me, which is ebc redstuff. I have both the front and the rears installed and they work amazing. They do produce good amount of dust, Id say about the same as the oem pads. And they do squeak from time to time but it's just something i have to sacrifice for more performance.
