BMW logo on calipers

Anyone know if this is a raised mold or just emblems (like Brembo does for their other brakes like the G35, 350Z, etc.)?

It would be some much more attractive to have them powdercoated a bright Brembo red and affix some white Brembo emblems instead. Instant BBK upgrade spending $100

From the BMWUSA site:

"And for the first time ever, the 135i 6-piston performance powerhouse front disc calipers are painted and feature BMW badging."

Their pictures are misleading. Many of them don't even show a logo on the caliper, and others makes it appear that the "BMW" is either molded or "carved" from the caliper material. If they are just painted with a BMW sticker or whatever I will be powdercoating them red the first month (pending I get this whole lease vs. own thing figured out)!
