 bmw and brake calipers? why nothing special?



I love how porsche has red and yellow calipers and even jaguar (R cars) have very sporty classy looking brake calipers. Yes I know they are Brembo (nice grey finish) and M Benz AMG models all have a nice cleaned up grey/silver caliper with "AMG" on it. I was cleaning my M3 today and I wish my calipers looked better then they did. I am not going to do the big brake kit or toss on brembos but I wish my calipers looked "neat" LOL Even the new m6 doesnt have anything special

Any one else out there like more a refined looking calipers? any reason why bmw doesnt do anything to the brake calipers?

I don't know why bmw doesn't do the high performance looking calipers. Maybe it doesn't fit their image. You can buy caliper paint and paint them yourself for about 50 bucks!

BMWs are conservetive cars, not big flashy cars like Benz or Porsches. They're the ultimate sleeper cars.

Yes but an m3 I would consider a "boy racer" big 19 inch wheels with red leather and the large ground effects I wouldnt consider it a "sleeper" but I can agree a 330i or a 525i for not having sporty calipers.

BMW prefers to have ****ty brakes that do neat things like this:

(I couldn't care less what the caliper LOOKS like... I just want the ****er to work well.
