You know what, that is absolutely true. Hadn't really thought about it but noticed "something" a bit off in the photos. It's the blue calipers and red paint that isn't as good a match as blue calipers and the other bodywork colours.

I wish you could individual pick the color of the calipers or have them the same color as the car.

Saw that one on Blocket as well. But I prefer this one instead:

I kind of like white interior but boy, my car with fully black is already shabby because of winter.

Nice car (all Ms are), but I fundamentally disagree with BMW's allowance of only one caliper colour for the M5s (and presumably M3/4s). Some may think it crazy, but one of the reason I got carbon ceramics on my new M5 is that I could not stand the look of the blue calipers with anything but a blue M5 (mine is frozen white with SO interior). Colour is obviously subjective and there are so many beautiful M5s on this board, but BMW should allow the choice of caliper colour...say several choices. It is one of the few shortcomings with this incredible car.
