Photoshop help: Painted yellow calipers on AW E92

bavarian06 · 07-29-2010, 02:26 AM

Dont flame me, I searched through the threads.

Anyone come across a picture of an Alpine White M3 with the factory calipers painted yellow? The color you see on lambos or porsches ceramic brake calipers.

Wondering if its even worth doing. Thanks in advance.

Opinion but I don't think it looks good on white...looks HAWT on Space Grey though...

I think it looks great. M-Flight leader has his done that way but his car is silverstone. And silver is the most unimaginative and bland color out there (imo). I think it would look great on white.

Even though the M3 has good sized brakes, I think you need a true BBK to pull off non-black caliper colors.

yea, definitely aftermarket calipers like stoptech/brembo is the way to go. but thats a $5K upgrade?

i noticed the calipers come painted black already. figure why not paint it yellow or even AW.

richardg · 07-29-2010, 01:26 PM

yeah and thats just 4k up front, dont forget the rears. if you don't track the the car a lot I would not invest the money into something like a bbk

graider · 07-29-2010, 01:34 PM

how much is the cheapest bbk f/r from stoptech for the m3?

The Brembo 380BBK all around is $7k-7500...
