What color BBKs would you get for AW ?

doba_s · 03-27-2009, 10:10 PM

I am looking to purchase BBK some time soon and can't decide which color to go get

I definitely don't want Red, Blue, Orange or anything like that ...

Black , Yellow, and White are my choices ... But I can't decide which one will be the best choice ...

CSanto · 03-27-2009, 10:17 PM

Yellow would look Hot!

What drop are you using for your car?

Aleks, Go with Yellow with Black Lettering!!! You won't regret

The black would remind me too much of the perf brakes on the 135i

I say yellow!!!

503Alex · 03-27-2009, 10:30 PM

+1 to Simon he knows what he's talking about. Go with yellow.

I have a AW E92 M3 and just ordered a set of Brembo GT BBKs. Decided on black calipers with white letterings.

How I came to this conclusion

yellow - too porsche
red - too obviously brembo, too much screaming "look at my brakes"
silver - too Japanese/Nissan GTR

Black - similar to stock, discrete, understated, most in keeping with the M ideals and look

I'd get the color that stops the car best.

sard · 03-27-2009, 10:43 PM

Why not red? I think that looks the best. Too common?

Blake · 03-27-2009, 11:17 PM

i chose black because i think it would look better with those wheels

doba_s · 03-27-2009, 11:23 PM

Can somebody PS yellow calipers on my car ?

Tuxedo look get's my vote, black with white lettering.

BayerischeMotorenWerke · 03-28-2009, 02:17 PM

Yellow's no good on a white car. Black is too bland. Go with the white.

FStop7 · 03-28-2009, 03:08 PM

Yellow absolutely

There's a concept.

My choices would be Cast grey or black.

gthirtyfizle · 03-28-2009, 03:32 PM

White for sure

KINGLEH · 03-30-2009, 04:23 PM

wish my stoptechs were that color!!...

but i have black on AW and it looks great... black is always a sure thing for just about anything.....

i wanted silver but that or white will get screwd up at high temps like you would see at the track,,,,

gixxer_kidd · 03-30-2009, 05:13 PM

Out of the choices you gave, I would prob do black.

SV Concepts · 03-30-2009, 09:40 PM

If you won't do red then Yellow is your best choice.
