brake calipers

Could someone tell me if there is a company that makes billet calipers for the E60 m5 that work with the stock rotors? not trying to improve performance just looks.

Where did you get that M sticker from? It looks like its the right proportions with BMW's M.

That’s exactly what I was looking for. I had to settle for just a standard white script. Fill us in --- where did you get them.

This is where I believe a lot of people have bought from, but not sure about the M logo above.

That's where I bought mine from. They don't offer the colored logo.

painting / calipers

I thought I read somewhere it was not wise to paint / powdercoat the brakes.....Does it do anything to the warranty? Has anyone checked with BMW...

I have an Interlagos M6 - which I would love to see different color calipers on - - however I'm terrible with photoshop -- - - anyone have any good leads? I would love to see yellow / red / blue / /eetc........

thx
