Changed calliper colour on pre LCI

Decided the blue was too common on all M Lite cars and loved the new red option on LCi models, so had them stripped and painted. Much prefer it and goes great with the dark grey body.

BMW need to make the caliper color a configurable option. It would be fun to match it against the body paint color.

on the new models you can now choose caliper colour when buying new, hence i went red as it still looks oem but prefer red to the standard looking blue bmw use.

i just gave to a company near me that specialise in calliper colour change and left to them, they fully strip and the finish as good as factory, had no issues so far and done some heavy braking with them.

The red is an amazing look and I agree re the "lesser" M models. Just ordered mine with red calipers too!
