blue calipers
my friends are trying to convince me to paint my calipers. i like the silver but they have got me thinking. i dont want red. blue seems to be the next obvious color thats displayed in the "M" badge. Otherwise maybe yellow... what do you think?

Your car looks so good with the theme you have going, IMO, I just don't think blue works.

i think the blue may interfere with the imola interior. the navy blue on new f80 m3's is much darker but i want a lighter color caliper

I have red interior as well. I personally feel its either red or grey for me. You could do black as well, but I think I am leaning toward grey. I am wishing I would have bought the lambo grey ST-40's for sale the other day. I think the other colors clash.

I have a black interior so it won't really clash. I do really like that yellow? color I can't tell exactly what it is. Silver is elegant too, I find it makes the hubs and wheels look very fresh and new

To be honest. Your car is beautiful as is. Red is everywhere, so it's not worth it.
IF any color change. I would go with the dark blue paint that all the new M's have. Or go with a really really flaky Black Metallic. IMO it would look pretty cool. Especially if you had black chrome/chrome lettering on it like "BMW Motorsports" or "Stop tech." Either way. You should do whatever your heart tells you. So far you haven't done anything to your car I wouldn't do. Your car is the benchmark for modded coupes. Do what you do best.

I always thought mustard yellow, but only if you want to be flashy. Otherwise, stick with silver or black. Don't forget that you have better taste than they do. You showed us their cars.

I'm thinking silver is the best so far. Just can't justify have huge colored calipers

Silver is nice and subtle... classy. But if you want attention go Yellow. Blue is now the new Performance color on the F-series so that might work if you want something in between "factory" and aftermarket.

+1. Your car is total class. For a long time, I wanted my calipers to match my red interior. As soon as I saw yours with silver calipers, I said, "F**k that!! If anything, I'm gonna do silver!"
