Question on ECS brake upgrade

Does anybody know if they come in any other color besides the mustard yellow?

Kinda hoping they have the blue that comes on the newer m's silver or black option available, yellow wouldn't quite match my color scheme

Only offered in yellow because that's all it came in from BMW. Those are the yellow Performance calipers, same as the grey ones offered stock on a 135i. You should know those calipers were not intended for our cars (although they will "fit").

Yea after researching a few things I've realized that they aren't what I'm looking for....I'm probably just going to go with stoptechs, do you know if they make a rear set?

Stoptech only makes front for the 3.0si. If you're serious about buying my fronts PM me an offer. They're in good shape (functionally), paint not great but never bothered me. I was planning on taking them off next month. Comes as entire kit (hardware, rotors and Stoptech street pads -- can even throw in a matching pad for stock rear brakes).

The rotors have at least half life left. And I have the Aerorotors so you only need to order replacement rings (the hats are reusable).

FYI they have surface cracks but that's totally normal. The only cracks you need to worry about are deep ones that extend to surface. I'll snap pics next week, car's sitting in storage.

Edit: Forgot I had snapped this a while back. Calipers look exactly the same as they did then:

Quick question I have a 04 3.0i z4 and I am very interested in the 135i front calipers , will they work for just street use not tracking it. Will it require heavy modification or is it a bolt on process. Will the calipers from the m235i work in the event 135i don't
