Please don't. It looks cheap. The OEM BMW calipers are a bit too small, and if you paint them (esp. something gaudy like red or yellow) it cheapens the look of the car. Makes you look like one of those Hyundai Velosters with painted red calipers. Like a 6er owner with a major Napoleonic complex. Not a good thing in my opinion.


Either stick with the OEM color, or upgrade to a BBK.

Either way, enjoy the ride!
Thanks for the honest opinion ipsedixit. I too was concerned about making the car look cheap. Will retain the stock look or painted black at most.

In terms of upgrading to a BBK, I have no experience with that and also have not come across any that is compatible to my car configuration due to the adaptive drive or IAS I was told (not sure whether it is true). Any recommendations would be most welcome.
