Red or Blue?

OEM+Alpine · 11-21-2019, 10:03 PM

Hey I did a photoshop of my current setup (stole great picture from EAS, I have the exact same modifications) to see what my car would look like with red or blue brake calipers. The blues not perfect as I would go for the m performance color.

Which do you like the best?

Red all day, every day for me

For a white car, red. It compliments the tail lights too.

thompsac25 · 11-22-2019, 07:55 AM

M Performance blue

Red looks better on white

Red.

chowser51 · 11-22-2019, 04:55 PM

Red.

IAmATeaf · 11-23-2019, 03:01 PM

Red as every other BMW seems to have the blue brakes, including mine 😀

Chriske92 · 11-24-2019, 06:17 AM

Red all the way

7iM3less · 11-25-2019, 07:26 AM

Red if you want it to stand out more. Blues clean but very recessive.

Reality is they wouldn't be as bright as what you see in your photoshop.

wdeerfield · 11-25-2019, 07:46 AM

Red all day. especially since you have CR interior.

cfm56d7b · 11-25-2019, 01:26 PM

The decision is 100% yours. Red looks much better.

Whatever decision you make, just enjoy the final results.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it

I like the BMW Blue and think it's special to BMW, where as every other Kia and typical "sporty" car has Red calipers so it's a little played out. You can't go wrong either way though. If I were to change mine, I would probably do Yellow or Acid green.
