Actualy, this does not make it an M car, it's simply an M trim package. Which I agree, you can order this package. My point was that when you have a 528i without this package and you simply place an ///M on the back next to your numbers and or remove the 528 and place the ///M I personally think this is a bit rediculous...

i agree with the above, im really not a fan of people badging things which they clearly arent. here in the uk i see so many cars in standard form being badged as their sportier models. i dont just mean bmws being badged as m3s and m5s but other brands too such as normal civics covered in type r badges.

If you like the way the plastic caliper covers look I say go for it. You'll probably need to do some re-work on the plastic to get it to fit over your existing calipers though. Post photos if you end up doing this mod!

I actually bought some caliper covers.
Not these though.
They are more basic looking and I sanded off the "brembo" logo and replaced it with "bmw".
Standard calipers look like shit so the covers finish it off better.

Egh.

nah. people are right they look like ass. and they dont even cover the whole caliper. not to mention my car drops like 1 kilo of brake dust as soon as i hit the brakes.
