F30 brake calipers under 17" wheels!

Hola,
Why they all have to look so ugly for wheel size under 18"? I can find some f30 m performance calipers but they're all for wheels 18"+. Brembo looks nice, but budget is tight. I don't like the look of oem calipers, just ugly. What to do?

unfortunately the answer is to upgrade to bigger wheels for the m performance calipers.

the other route, which I have yet to verify. I have read differing answers on the forum but IF the OEM 17" wheels fit the 335 calipers (grey). some say yes and some say no; all of which depends on the inside of the wheel. if they do, you can always paint them to a color of your choice. I am waiting for the dealership in the rural area to get their hands on a 335 so I can do a test fit.

Upgrading 320d sport to 18" wheels would be bit stupid-ish. Hmm, sounds interesting.. as oem calipers are cheaper that full aftermarket kit. Which 335's calipers you talking about? Cheers.

I have the gray Brembo set that can be used with OE 17" wheels. They came from my 2016 340i and can be painted any color you like. I Have the complete set with 50% worn pads. The only thing missing is the pad sensors. Shipping is about $100-120. Make me an offer.

I said that budget is tight man, I don't want to insult you with my offer.

Sorry. I heard M Performance. Those are expensive even with the best deals. The natural gray 340mm kit can be made to look very similar without new wheel. Pick your color. Not to mention give a performance bump.

These removed kits are always lurking on this forum $600-750.
