Whats even more annoying for me is that I'm willing to pay the $5k for a laguna seca blue M4, a color that already exists to BMW, but it sounds like they won't approve it based on what I've heard from others on here. I'm willing to give you money BMW. Why won't you take it?????
That is a great color choice, keep asking until they approve it.

Well, I can't ask until I can get an allocation, but I've heard others say they got turned down on it so I'm not super optimistic. I'm still going to ask though.

Because not all factories can do all colors...there is even a difference between Munich and Regensburg...

But LSB should be possible...

. MrMash these photos are from my F95 marina bay blue with blue calipers, if it helps at all. I'm biased towards blue.

Red. Adds a little flair of color. I'm doing Enzian blue with red calipers.

I would go red

If I order a G80 at some point, I'm going with Hera Mica Blue and red calipers. Can always powdercoat those bad boys whatever color you want though...

Which brake caliper color fits best to Marina Bay Blue and black rims? Yes, we all know it would be gold, but there won’t be ceramic breaks here.

So the choices are:
  • Blue
  • Red
  • Black

...which I photoshopped here. The blue of the car edited too, according to an actual image of an M8 in Marina Bay Blue.

So what are your thoughts here?

Thanks and best regards.
I'm digging the second one.

Pretty sure this sort of question got asked in the M5 forum, and a lot of people said just get the carbon ceramics, even if it's just for the color .

Apparently the people over there have lots of money to blow.

Black.

Red calipers remind me of ricers a lot.

I always love red brake calipers and you can't go wrong with them. But gloss black has really grown on me. You don't see them much. Tricky to keep clean, but a nice ceramic costing will help.
