I like Yellow, but I'm a little biased
Not Brembo, but BBK nonetheless
Your Rotora brakes are 'schweeet' too... but they are not available in Korea unfortunately. I have a choice between Brembo, StopTech and some Japanese brand. There is also a brand called Cube, but I've never heard of them.

Thanks! Friends keep bugging me that it is overkill on a 528i, but I think it will look sweet on the car.

Stock calipers = black or silver (mine are silver)

BBK = red or yellow (I voted yellow for the Brembos)

Will be very nice in any color!

My vote goes for black. Another color option I would entertain is a flat gold, like this:

My BBK of choice would have been Brembo, but Rotora gave me a deal I couldn't pass up.

That flat gold isn't bad either. Aren't the stock Brembos on the Nissan GT-R and 350Z that color?
