BMW just likes to do this: Not offer CF trim in earlier life cycle, and then add them for ordering later on.

Really annoying. Other German brands like Audi almost have CF trim as standard...

Agreed, while I'm not 100% sure, it's highly likely that BMW's timing is purely a money-making tactic to keep a steady amount of cash coming in after the initial vehicle release. The question is when will the buyers simply stop putting up with it and just wait? Sooner or later BMW will have to adapt.

At least BMW offers options in value packages and not piece by piece like Audi and Porsche.

Those red calipers do look FIRE!

I'd want those on my car too

jadis · 05-12-2020, 01:33 PM

I believe these are larger rotors and upgraded calipers, not just a color option.

M3GymNut · 05-12-2020, 01:41 PM

I really hope when the G80 comes out they provide different brake caliper color options like they do for the Alfa QV. The blue is such a boring color.

Not sure why someone has to bring this up in pretty much every thread, even if it has nothing to do with the subject being discussed.

It's not just that, Blue brakes don't work well with all exterior Colour choices.

dan_genius · 05-12-2020, 02:42 PM

Shadowline package coming too!

Jealousy. Because a stock G20 M340i "NON REAL ///M CAR" can keep up with a stock F80 m3/m4. SD///M3 Keep trying to sell your detail products and move along.

Red calibers are overplayed imo. Also love all the hate from non owners about the digital dash

. You know whats worse than a backwards tach? Spending $80k on a car and having it optioned with cloth seats like a Honda SI.

EvenKeel · 05-12-2020, 03:49 PM

Instead of red calipers how about some fixed piston rear calipers and a dedicated e-brake caliper.

In between all those emoji's lies a good argument.

Making yourself feel better? That's cool...

TorontoGambler · 05-12-2020, 04:43 PM

Personally I love the hate (from M owners who have a great car yet feel compelled to say Na Na Na Na Na, my cars better than your car... when the current model isn’t lol). The comments are rooted in jealousy... the ultimate form of flattery!

Why do you bother coming into the G20 specific part of this site? I don't get it...like honestly don't get it.

Here in the U.K. you get the black grille, mirrors and wheels (plus other kit) by opting for the MSport plus package. I think BMW U.K. called that right, as the cerium grey is a bit Marmite - or root beer....

Yeah, call the color whatever you'd like - I hate it, and spent a lot of money to get rid of it on my M40i. Agree that the UK got that one right!

Maybe you need to chill, lockdown has that effect on some people.

I'm perfectly calm but your maturity is shining bright. You keep coming in and commenting on G20 specific things (amongst other M3/M4 owners). I just don't get why there has to be jabs here and there from "real M car owners". I don't see anybody here saying shit about F80 models...other than that one idiot that started the racing thread.

Would be a great option. I think the cerium depends on the color of the car. I actually don't mind it on mine but I do go back and forth all the time between keeping the cerium or switching to black.

Is it too late to take back my cloth seat comment? lol.. But you are 100% correct. No need for the jabs.

Actually looks really good here! Mine is Alpine white, so I went with gloss black everywhere.
