OEM manufacturers get a choice of all three. Obviously, OEM tends to go the cheapest route if they think they can get away with, which is probably the case here. Sucks that BMW is willing to throw in such nice calipers from Brembo and then skimp on a part that probably cost $20.
So if people want gop track, what should people to do with these stock caliper? just leave it? or get some aftermarket brake kit??

confusing :iono:
