How much did you pay for the spray job?
Did you do the pre-sanding etc yourself?
Different folks different strokes
But in the sun with my inter blue flicking from blue black indigo and violet

Then the calipers being a flick of the blue metallic pearl then the purple changing through its colour range it looks awesome buddy
In the flesh job

And nope buddy they did all that for me:)
It's by individual basis ref works and cost and spray job and any works needed

But they were mint in first place
But dear God just bleeding now then I'll if bloody photo bucket decides to work I'll post full car shots:)

Not the best shots was peed off
As the lines from hel were 6" too short !!
Promised that is what others use and no complaints
Fine if line under tension and going directly to the bulk fixing
Erm no!
So being refunded and I'm having exact engineering making me correct length and a protective sheath where line goes through oem route:)

Fingers crossed Saturday fitting
Not best pics as said wasn't in mood but love them.all the same.

I used to have almost the same set up on my car, BMW performance calipers instead of bmw 135i ones (as D4dawg has (look identical, different pistons)) and the same porsche boxster 2.7 rears with the boxster front pads in.
I ran them with Pagid RS-29s and found it to be a great setup, lots better modulation feel, and far better retardation (to be expected though using RS-29). The boxster rears did have a habit of squealing which could have been the pad, more likely the fitment (it's a bit of a bodge, you have to run boxster front pad in order to sweep the Z4M disk), but otherwise did a good job (bearing in mind they were meant for a car a few hundred kilos less).
As for your question about fade and cold application... really most of that can only be answered in your pad choice and in terms of fade, also your fluid. I would say they are able to dissipate heat a whole lot more than the OEM monopiston, they're pretty chunky.
My advice would be though if you're thinking of going near a track then find the BMW performance ones (phoenix yellow coloured) as the 135i calipers are known to crack their pistons under excessive heat due to some ceramic piston header or something.
Phoneix Yellow colour, not sure which is more garish :lol:

makes mine look boring tbh..... The paint on these is enamel and is really hard wearing, id like to get them re-done eventually but they are pretty much spotless bar some rock chips. OP i love what you've done, its different and different is cool in my book.
