Hi guys,
I had a full service done this week and also upgraded the look of my brakes with new zinc coated Zimmermann drilled disks, EBC yellow stuff pads and a brake fluid flush.
I just drove the car back, so not bedded in yet but already they brake better than the OEM brakes I had, so happy there.
I also had the calipers stripped and resprayed red which looks a lot better.
I had been toying with the idea of a BBK but most were expensive and I didn't want the extra weight on my 258hp 530i.
Here's 2 pics on my shit phone

Though I think you should get the BBK and sell me your OEM calipers
