DO NOT US THESE
they have been around for a long time now and I have seen some civic put them on in HK
It looks very cheep and not worth it.
You better off painting the caliper red or silver like my.
these things will only fit on once cos, they are very hard to take off for repair of the brakes. :thumbsdown:
you will need to brake them off to change any pads. :thumbsdown:

Speaking from experience I see... 
I have seen some car with this on and my local garage say never get them, he had to brake them off to change the pads on the car, but it was not a BMW.

DONT put these on...they are very dangerious, they can come unstuck and foul the brakes or even cut through brake lines
why would you put your life at risk for the sake of some plastic??
they are a gimmic, and tacky and not in keeping with a classy car, you will look like a cheap skate boy racer.
