Painting mine now, hopefully be done today....keep flip flopping on colors but I'm 90% on red

Fortunately, repainting them to another color isn't that much trouble - just a bit of time and money.

Red is definitely the most popular color for caliper paint. Do whatever floats your boat you feel me?!

What color is the car? I really like the M blue calipers on a red car. Ill be painting mine red since its a blue car.

Alpine white. leaning towards blue. feel like the red is too much and brings too much attention to the calipers.

Just way to many blues.. unless you get a use set of blue m-performance brake, I wouldn't change it. But from stock grey...I'll go for something different.

I love my matte gray, dust covered calipers. I can't tell you how many times the ladies have stopped me before I get in my car and ask, "are your calipers matte gray?"

Last time I'll mention my old person's opinion that if you make your calipers too pretty, people will be looking at them and not your car or you. Why distract others' eyes to a little hunk of metal hiding behind your lovely wheels on your beautiful car?

...mostly, though, I think superficial things should always come after maintenance because I'm seriously ocd that way.

I will close the door behind me now.

On a white car you can't really go wrong with any color. Blue looks great. Going with the M logo or just BMW text?

[Moupe]

Y'all can save some time and money by going this route yadidimean? Rock dem Brembos without the cost, yeeeehaaaaa

[tardboi]

I wish those were not so frowned upon because painting them is a massive PITA lol

Will do the M logo. cant justify paying 2k for the OEM blue calipers when i can just paint them and slap sticker on it.

Savage.... haha but yes i do agree. however my gray calipers have seen some real bad wear and tear due to the horrendous winters and seems to be the one that that brings out the OCD in me to get them painted. So maybe a blue wont distract the viewers off my lovely wheels

Anyway...I will always advise maintain rather than make pretty. I got my e46 to 386K miles. I never had time to get to the little decorative things--there was always some real maintaining to be done. All our cars will get to that point at some time...I like to stay ahead of the curve.

How about this? Change your plugs and on the way out, paint the top of the coils blue?
