Calipers M logo Fade Away

philipf10 · 10-13-2018, 10:22 PM

Hello
The M logos on my both calipers are faded away. What are my options ? Anyone can give me some advice how to replace the logo ? Sorry for dirty picture.
thanks

I see NO picture ... CCB or steel? I feel like my CCB are a bit faded but I bought it used too.... only 2 track sessions so not sure if that has anything to do with it. Saw some guys who discolored their M3 steel brake calipers at the track ... you track your car?

You may want to take pics with a ruler so the seller knows the size you need.
Otherwise, you can go to any sign shop & have them make a few.

Are the OEM logos actually stickers, or are they ink/screen or spray/painted on?

Definitely not a decal. Not sure what type of paint but the M on mine is now dark gray.

they aren't stickers. They are ink. If I put stickers, I am afraid they will look fake

Havy · 10-19-2018, 05:19 AM

put sticker on it and than use clear coat. Nobody will ever see the difference.

mgmarsh39 · 10-19-2018, 11:57 AM

draw it on with a sharpie.

philipf10 · 10-25-2018, 11:51 AM

Since its faded away, I am not sure about the size. Can anyone measure and let me know ?
thanks

bluflaggz · 10-26-2018, 08:16 PM

Shave the rest and put the Brembo logo on it. Gives the car a nice look 😁

bleunetizen · 10-30-2018, 05:09 PM

mine is fading too, especially the white bit. bad paint used?

What are you thinking of doing ?

bleunetizen · 10-31-2018, 08:01 PM

not sure what to do really, I wonder how those ebay decals look like and will they hold the heat etc

TN6 · 11-01-2018, 02:17 AM

I'm looking for colored M calipers for my 13 650i coupe, could someone help direct me in the right direction to where to find or where exactly to purchase

Havy · 11-01-2018, 03:28 AM

Brembo is the choice. They are the OEM supplier of the M caliper.

FBMWWINS · 11-01-2018, 04:42 AM

I wonder if Brembo have got something for the 650i as well (without spending a fortune....) to make it standout a little bit more than it does with those boring OEM calipers.

you want the OEM M caliper ?

ind_can · 06-14-2020, 10:19 AM

Hey guys, I ordered the following brake caliper decals as the white /M part on mine has gotten a little discolored: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/BMW-M-Sport-...53.m2749.l2649

Do you guys think these can be installed with the wheels on? I don't really have the equipment/space to properly dismount my wheels.

I also bought a can of some Dupli-color clear coat acrylic enamel to spray over top of the decals for added protection.
