6 in one, 12 the other.
Well, except that you have $9k more than I do overall.

But Gold bling baby!
If they all sound like a school bus might as well have bling!

It’s up there with the M3 comp badge from the centre console that I didn’t miss until I was told about it!

Yea I had to order that shit too.

Just took it to the dealer and they checked at first said it’s suppose to be like that. Then after checking he said that I’m right there is suppose to be a caliper cover clip that attaches to it the caliper with the M/// logo and he’ll order it I’ll get it tomorrow. That’s for the comments guys take care.

Mine is a 22MY M3C ~7/21 build. No clips and didn’t miss them until I saw this thread!

Oh sh1t have to go out and inspect my caliphers. 🤓

BeamerBoomer · 07-19-2023, 02:09 PM

I have them. Is it dependent on the color? I have the black ones.

What do you mean?

BeamerBoomer · 07-19-2023, 03:40 PM

Color of calipers. At least in Germany you have to pay extra if you option black or red calipers instead of the standard blue ones. But I see you have the red ones.

You did.

Hi guys. New to the forum. Just got delivery of my m4 comp a couple days ago and my rear brake caliper covers fell off. Is this common? What should I do? The bmw service center said I "might" have to pay for it. Like seriously? wtf?!

I guess if you comprehend the sentence backwards I did cause that was totally what I meant.

Tano22 · 07-19-2023, 05:40 PM

Count me amongst the folks who looked and realized they were missing on my car as well, lol. Ordered them today.

And at $20 bucks is this really worth making a thread asking what they should do if BMW won't pay for it?

Judging by all the people it helped with the same no caliper cover issue, guess the thread was pretty useful.

I had to go check after reading this. They’re still there. One less thing to be bothered by.

Penguinius · 07-20-2023, 06:19 AM

Sorted. Annoying the amount of little things the ‘23 cars don’t have - the front door sills only saying ‘M3’ rather than ‘M3 Competition’ is the next thing that doesn’t need fixing that I have to fix…

My car is a '23 (03/03) and has them.

Really, wow? Mine is a UK Mar ‘23 build date Comp and the front door sills only say M3; guess its a regional thing or perhaps you got one of the last ones with the real sills? At risk of (further?) hijacking this thread does anyone else with a ‘23 build date not have the comp sills?

EDIT: sorry! Realised you meant the clips, which makes a lot more sense given that’s what the threads about! My bad.

LOL. You're good. Yeah, it has the caliper clips but not the door sills or interior badge.

Penguinius · 07-20-2023, 07:09 AM

Still weird about the clips though… wonder what the rational is for cars getting them or not?

How easy were they to install? Just snap right into place?

Maybe at the factory, when doing final checks, if the weight distribution is off from 50/50, these are used to make that final adjustment +/-

Yeah, just slide on and you’re done.

Sounds like something that could just slip off real easy and needs a visual inspection every once in a while.
