I feel red calipers are everywhere. Blue is the factory color for BMW. Voting yellow.

Blue. If not blue, red.

Also, are you going to be painting them yourself or getting them done professionally? If DIY, mind sharing the process. Thanks.

what kind of 19/20 inch wheels will you use? the caliper color depends on it

I voted Blue, I think it will go with any type of wheels you will use in the future

Actually wish you had posted this picture several weeks ago as I thought the black 437m would be too much black on my BSM but your car proves that is not the case. Now wishing I did not do a 3 way trade to get silver 437m.

After really thinking through this and truly thinking about why I feel the way I do, I believe the thing that bothers me about the yellow is that everyone wants to get rid of the side yellow/orange reflectors and then puts a bigger yellow area in the wheels.

Color is just taste. Both the silver and black 437Ms look great. I wanted a more aggressive look so I went with black. The wheels resemble sharp teeth with the silver section.

I thank everyone for their vote. Probably would have gone with blue if I went with BMW //m 4 Piston.

I decided to go with the red Brembo GT 6 Piston.

Here they are on my car with the SportContact 6...probably the only set of SC6 on a BMW in the USA.

Certainly the only F30/437m/Brembo GT/SC6 in North America, if not the world.
