Larry-
Doesn't the caliper incapsulate the pads which cause brake-dust? I don't know that why I'm asking. I know from reading your posts that you are much more experienced than I with these vehicles and performance relating to mods. Thanks

They are located in Chula Vista huh? Well I was going to take Friday off but I didn't heat back from them... Did you end up callin them? O well let us know how well it fits on ur 135i.

Yep chula vista. I have a 2009 space gray 135i, so maybe they will want a 2008 as well? I'm gonna get them in black. You should give them a call.

I'll post pics most likely by the friday after next.

I don't have any good pics of the caliper covers on my car yet. I'll def post them when I take some. Honestly, I'm the worst when it comes to keeping my wheels clean. They only get cleaned when my car gets washed haha. I don't mind the matte look on the lip I actually have noticed that it doesn't build up as fast as before so for that alone, I love the caliper covers.

For anyone who's interested in getting these caliper covers but, isn't chosen as a test car, enter code BMW609 on their site for $20 off of your order!

^ yeah. So I went their today and he said he couldn't do it on our 135i cause of "These brakes are really, really nice". He doesn't think they'll work efficiently do to the configuration of our 6piston calipers.

So.... I told him he should probably be looking for a 128i or 135i w/out the sports package. Is this correct??? I know I have seen different brake calipers than those on my vehicle.

All 135's have the same factory brakes, as I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Not to be rude, but you didn't say that earlier in the thread,,, you said that you didn't think anyone is going to cover their 6 piston brembo brakes. Anywho, I told him that he wants a 128i so it's solved.

Yea I was in San Diego so it wasn't to far out of the way. No big deal... at least we all know that these are no longer destined for the 1. Glad I could be of assistance haha.

+1
Exactly what I was thinking. It would prevent heat from escaping or air traveling over them as the side ducts of the front of our car was designed for.

Great. Glad you cleared that up for him. Sorry to hear you wasted your time going down there, when they confirmed what I already told you.
