Ceramic brake color?
Assuming that you can get past the high price for the ceramic brake option on the F8x M cars, does the gold color of the calipers bother anyone? I really don't like it compared to the blue on the standard brakes. My choice would be black or even red. Small nit but for that money I'd like to love everything about them, even the color.

I love the gold against my black car and would've hated stock blue so it works great for me.

They look better on some colours than others that's for sure. I like my goldies with my Mineral White. It's like having gold teeth to go with your pearly whites.

Definitely dependent on the color of the car. Gold and black and gold and white both work well, dating myself here but just like a 1966 Shelby Hertz Mustang.

the gold is f'ng sweet. if you ask me, it goes well with every color. the only thing I'd say though is that it goes best with the black wheels, which somewhat dictates the exterior colors they look best with.

Agree with everyone here, looks great on some cars, awful on others. Then again the same could be said for the blue brakes lol

Exactly. I can imagine the uninformed person is going to ask - why did you choose (blue/gold) brakes when they don't match your car color?

.......for the price of CCB they should come with a migit trained by BMW who lives in your garage and resprays your calipers whatever colour you want on a daily basis.
