Haven't driven the car that much but the Hawk pads seem to work very well and I don't see any dust compared to OEM BMW pads.

Is the noise you are getting cyclic and increasing with speed? Sometimes the pads don't 100% retract from the brake rotor and make a light contact. With an upgraded and more performance oriented pad, you can get some light scratching noise as the rotor turns. It could also be the E brake concern you mentioned. My G loc pads on another vehicle do a similar thing. And the noise goes away when I start to apply the brakes.
