Im thinking of getting some but not sure which ones are the best for e90's.

are these the things that prevent brake dust on your rims as well???

they also prevent that stupid air from getting to your calipers
they don't get very hot though, it shouldn't be a problem

don't ever get caliper covers unless you never plan on using your breaks.

why?

It will insulate your calipers allowing them to overheat. Just say no.
