You've peeked my interest on several topics you've brought up.

1. I've looked at the B6 steering wheels and it looks like I'll need a new air bag too...

2. I like the stock brake performance, but hate the dust...and was looking at Akebono, Hawks, and others....do you have a recommendation?

Thanks

1 - YES, new airbag is needed. In this instance, it really depends on what you plan to do with the car.. if you do NOT want stick to Alpina goodies, then the best option could be the M5/M6 LCI wheel with the round airbag.

2 - I have tried Akebono Ceramics and they were decent. I also tried EBC Red Stuff and they were pretty good. Have not tried the others so hopefully someone who has can chime in. But I'm going to be going back to JURIDs (OEM) this time around as I feel that the initial brake bite of a BMW is pretty damn confidence inspiring
