I recently purchased my 2006 Z4 M Roadster. I have been wiping a lot of brake dust off the wheels which seems to accumulate very quickly. I considered changing brake pads that produce less dust but I've been advised on this forum with that these brake pads will decrease my stopping power and heat up much more quickly, which I would think would increase my brake fade I'm going to start off with some autocrossing and graduate to HPDE in the future. I care about the looks as well as the performance and I think my Factory calipers look terrible on this car. I've seen a few things on covers and right now I have Bavarian Autohaus pulled up with the MGP wit the red covers to fit the car for $199. I saw sets on eBay for $ 90 but they are glue on not bolt on as the MGPs are. Three things are stated on the description as my title indicates 1) reducing caliper Heat 2) reducing brake fade 3) decreasing brake dust accumulating on the wheels. All of these things sound beneficial to me and also I think increase the looks of this area of the car as I believe the calipers are completely hideous. I don't really understand the TACKY factor that has been discussed here as I think these big red powder coated covers would actually increase the good looks of this wheel area. Mini performance sports cars have these big brake systems which all look pretty much identical to theses red covers, they stand out and I think they look good.

So can anyone tell me if any of this would be true, From what I've read on this thread there would be no benefits and they would look tacky. And as far as getting to the brakes during a brake change they are bolt on, installation is stated as taking 10 minutes per wheel, so I don't really think time would be a factor of taking these covers off when I would need a brake pad change
