It has been long since I posted here last time but I was kind of busy with my M4. Hope you like her.

What calipers do you have on the rear in the pic. A link would be helpful

Where can we find these magical caliper covers? Looks sweet!

Charlie Brown · 03-31-2015, 07:42 PM

I have something similar.

Bottch77 · 03-31-2015, 08:58 PM

Charlie Brown!! Where oh where did you get these?? Please let us know. I would love that for the rear calipers!

PatrickC23 · 04-01-2015, 10:37 AM

It might be spring in Mexico, but last night I took the M5 to the gym instead of the Jeep thinking it was fine and it f'ing started snowing!

Yes, please give us more info on the caliper covers.

X5MC_LI · 04-01-2015, 12:09 PM

Charlie info on those covers would be great. Also how was the install process? Any rattling?
Also any effect on the emergency brake? Or warranty?
Thanks

Charlie Brown · 04-02-2015, 05:48 AM

I'll contact the guy that made my rear caliper covers and see if he is still making them. He makes custom items for 3 and 5 series and is associated with my local BMW dealer.

Installation is very simple. Snaps on rear caliper and uses silicone to ensure it stays in place with no rattles.

I had them on my car for about 6 months but removed them when I started seeing more track time thinking they may retain heat and just never put them back on. They never rattled or came loose. Dealer saw them, never mentioned any warranty issues.

X5MC_LI · 04-02-2015, 08:05 AM

Charlie, since you took them off maybe you are looking to sell them? If so, I'm very interested.
Please PM me.
Thanks
