For your Isle of Man the best color IMO is the blue. Black gets hidden, red kind of clashes with the green, although another guy posted a pic of that combo that was actually nice.

Blue really is the way to go - obviously they made a mistake so take advantage of the situation. Instead of painting the calipers something else when its already quite nice, ask them for some BMW gear and accessories instead.

Maybe some all weather mats, car covers etc.
Let me end this hear bc i polluted a different thread with the same issue from this thread.

I ended up just keeping the blue and had the dealership compensate me for the error. Your right. The blue goes really well with the blue in the headlights and the badges. Red would be too Christmissy for me. I also ended up changing my dealership bc of how they tried to convince me that the brakes were "delicate" and they didnt want to "disturb" the car lol. It just proved how incompetent they were. I mean cmon, its frkn calipers. Anyways, i appreciate everyones input on this.

Thanks

That's a far reach. "Your build sheet says black calipers, but your car has blue oh no I can't pay your asking price. I need $5k off." Yeah that'll for sure happen that way
