Red Brake Calipers
I found this 07 M5 for sale at a dealer and I am very interested. The red brake calipers I have not seen on other cars. Are these an option or aftermarket? I am not sure I like the way they look.

Not an option. May be aftermarket, but from the looks of that one pic, the prior owner did it themselves or had it done. I like it.

As I sit here and stare at it, it seems to be growing on me.

+1 It works, although I prefer black. It's easy to change....don't let it be a deal killer.

It's about The Beast, not the calipers...

Black looks far classier, and sportier imo.
