The rear caliper came in from O'Reilly in two days. It is cast with "BMW" and "Ate" in the body and included the carrier, new slide pins, boots, caps, bleeder screw, and new pad spring. All blasted, cleaned, re-coated, and rebuilt. Looks fine to me. I'll know more when I have the time to install it on Sunday.
Give the fact that no one else had one—not BMW or any of the usual suppliers—I'll consider $65 for this one at least a stop-gap measure to get me back on the road.
