Same pad supplier for VW/Audi, MB, Volvo, BMW and a few more...reason for pad compound is...
Euro reg that requires a certain brake performance off the assembly line...no brake break in allowed...must be 100% and thus this compound used in the pads...all the after market pads (EBC, Mintex, Pagid etc) require a 'bed in' period and this is a no-no with the Euro reg. BUT one would think someone could figure a low dust pad to comform to the reg.

That certainly explains the rationale behind the current OEM brake pads. I appreciate the explanation. There is so much to know, and so little time. 
Very quick stoppping from, umm, post 2 digit speeds ...
