I knew i didnt want to have some outside vendor powdercoat them so i just stuck with the blue calipers....they compensated me for the error and i just "took it" i guess....the ocd in me just wasnt comfortable un bolting anything but the wheels outside its factory torque spec (unless you absolutely needed to)....especially from that dealership.
Sounds like you made the right call, then. (And totally get the priority, I've got a 1 month old and I'm worried I'm never going to get time to even drive my g80 when it shows up)

Speaking of call, did you ever reach out to BMW North America or just stick local to your dealership?
