There are some very good aftermarket pad options that not only resolve this issue but also reduce brake dust.
That was true for F series but totally different for G series.

For G series
M3/4 Calipers are a totally different design than regular 3 series, I think they are based on Brembo GT calipers like the ones Porsche uses.

M340i Track Pack calipers are basically 5/7 series and also X3M calipers but using different sizes rotors depending on application.
