hmm, You know the BMW performance brake upgrade is targeted at the 128i right? You already have those brakes and basically spent a couple grand to change the color of the calipers... To each his own I suppose. lol.

Isn't the BMW Performance Brake System the exact same BBK that's stock on a 135i, except painted "Performance Yellow?"

The calipers are the same but it comes with performance drilled rotors and ss lines.

Ah, I knew the rotors were different but didn't know about the steel lines.

Still seems a bit spendy for not much of an upgrade. But hey, it wasn't my money...

Looks nice with the Monaco.

Hope BMW covered your upgrade if they failed... but you didn't get them installed by a dealer?

Yeah, I'm also interested in what "messed up" means in your case.

If I wasn't driving a lease this is exactly what I'd do with my MB 1er. Yellow calipers look sick with the dark blue. Now get the full kit!
