Thoughts on painting brake calipers to match car color?
I ordered a 2021 Mediterranean Blue Metallic and would like everyone's thoughts on painting the brake calipers?

I didn't mean I would paint them the same color as the car. M40i has painted caliper covers.

It's your car do as you please. I like mine red. Plus no rocks getting stuck under a shield this way

Damn straight and that includes graphics. I caught all kinds of flaming shit when I said I was going to have a detail shop apply a double pin stripe on my new X5. I did and it looks awesome. It accentuates the upper crease really well. I then applied CarPro CQuartz 3.0 UK which I assume helps seal the stripes and protects the paint big time.
Front windows have a ceramic tint which totally eliminates heat. Nice mod. Where did you get the shield and how is it applied? Held in place by the bolts? |

The Z4 M40i standard performance brakes all come in Blue.

Eventually I will be purchasing a red M40i which I think looks better with the optional M red brakes. Just use the configurator and change between the two on the exterior color you like.

Thought Blue was the standard color & red a no cost option if you were ordering the car? At least thats the way the US configurator shows it.
