I do totally agree, I think I'd just want some bigger/nicer looking callipers if I wanted to highlight em..

Yeah the OE Callipers are a little bit wimpy looking on these cars.

Agree, best painted black so they look clean but there is no point drawing the eye to them.

Someone on here did a replacement with 240i or 135i callipers, they look really good in the blue. Not brave enough to attempt myself!

Now there's Irish logic. You're going to do the same as somebody didn't do.

Did mine in grey Hammerite (on Melbourne Red car). Close to the original. They've survived surprisingly well.

I painted ... the disc hubs silver.

That's heresy, John! BMW leave the high ferrous content hubs bare to maximise brake cooling.

Well if you can change my name to John, then I can change the colour of my hubs.

Made me smile. Thank you.
Sorry for the wrong name.
That said, brake disc hubs still shouldn't be painted.

To late for me then huh? Been like this for 4 years without any issues:

Very good wheels, too.

p.s. I doubt many of us drive hard & fast enough for it to matter if our disc hubs are painted or not.

Those silver caliper's with the red rattle clip look wonderful. Its a great touch.

No problem.
I'll happily trade a few degrees for hubs that don't look rusty.
