My Ride: 2013 M5 - Sakhir Orange / Black Leather.
Picked her up yesterday. Had the calipers powder coated BMW Blue (matched the color on the Rondel). Haven't had a chance to post pics. IMHO, they look great. The 101 wheels I have are tights spokes, so it's pretty dark in there. The color is subtle. You only notice it if you are actually looking at it - in other words your eyes aren't pulled to the calipers when looking at the car. Had stainless brake lines installed as well. The calipers were completly removed and stipped of the bleeder valve and piston/seals. They were then media blasted and powder coated. They then did a complete caliper re-build (new piston gasket and seal) and re-installed using the old pads and rotors (car only has 10,000 miles). Very professional job.
While in, I had CIP 27 (I think) installed. A bit of glitch in so doing b/c I had self retrofitted the iPod adapter and the car didn't "know" the CD Changer was gonzo, so it dorked up what is the equivalent of the drivers in the software.
All in all I'm very happy. Will post pics after I wash and wax her.
