Decided to paint the front calipers today. Didn't like the way they looked,,,dull, gray and just dirty all the time. I used 3 coats of vht black and 2 coats of clear coat over the decals. The ER intercooler came in last week as did the cobb tuner. Ill be




installing those items along with the hard piping kit next weekend

No. It's the stock front caliper on a 535i.

OP- looks good.

I figured that but I was too lazy to go look at my old 550 calipers, which I believe are the same as the 535s, laying in my garage or to look at my car with the M5 ones on there, lol.

Thanks. At some point I'd like to upgrade to the M5's but that will have to wait until next year. The car is never tracked nor will it be. I'll also have to upgrade to 19" rims/tires so it will be expensive.

Yeah I was going to say that I thought I saw you post that you did the M5 brake upgrade. Have you noticed a difference in your braking? I'm still on the fence to do this upgrade or spend the money on a stoptech BBK since I might be going with upgraded turbos.

Yep you will most likely need to upgrade your wheel size to fit those brakes up front.
