There are a variety of colors but I doubt any are exactly the same as BMW uses on their performance brakes.

I used the same kit for my Miata.. but the difference is our calipers were bare castings with a rough surface. i just neede to hide the surface corrosion that drove me nuts, so i chose black.

This wont be the best way for the OP, as his 135 Calipers are already smooth and shiny from the factory... as i said above, they would require alot of prep work to be painted IMO..
