Nice but what I'd really like to see is some cooled seats. Drives me nuts that my wifes g70 has cooled seats and it wasn't even an option on my build

I had the Power Kit II on my 135i, which added an aux water cooler, upgraded radiator fan and of course the software (+20hp, +17ft-lb).

I would have thought the software-only tunes which maintain warranty would be pure profit, unless they were concerned about cannibalization of other models.

It depends on the color combo. Red and yellow calipers look great with black wheels/dark cars. Blue not so much.

I would prefer to see a shadow line trim option, so we can get rid of the God-awful cerium grey bits without spending a grand to do so at Ind

my big question will be.. can I raid the calipers for my F32? **grin**

I already raided a wrecked F82, then had them stripped and powdercoated red.

I wonder if the new rotors and calipers are bigger and could be straight bolt on for the F3X?

If you don't mind my asking, how much do the red calipers cost as a standalone option?

I might be in the minority but I love the BMW blue calipers. Red calipers are played out unless they're the Big Reds on a 911. When every wannabe racer with a Civic or Altima is painting their calipers and drums red, it's played out!

My 2018 S5 has red brake calipers. To be honest, it's such a small detail you'll never notice it.

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...
