What Color do you like on an all Black E-60 BMW? Choices are Blue, Black, Yellow, or Red. Its for an all Sports Model Black with Dark Tint glass all around E-60 with OEM 8) "Y" Spoke style wheel? The dealership says "Yellow" Thanks Dan

I vote red if you are going to keep the wheels silver and the rest of the car otherwise stock. White could work well if you do a black/white contrast theme on the car as well.

I am starting to think these will melt and be destroyed in no time... The silicone gunked up maybe more trouble than its worth. Yikesss..... Maybe I should tip toe out softly now...

Acutally, should not be burn but if need to change pads, this cover need to change too, because it attached on caliper and need to break before change the pads

Probably best to get the Real Deal and replace with Red or maybe Yellow Brembo new calipers when its time. Are Hartge made by Brembo? if not; then are they good as Brembo? I say this because I would or am thinking of the Hartge Suspension to lower 30mm. Fellow Forum owner has these. So why bother with a cover.
