Free Caliper Cover for 135i in San Diego Area

Hello Everyone. I'm looking for a 135i owner who is willing to drive down to a manufacturing facility near San Diego and give ONE HOUR of your time to have your Calipers measured. The reward for your time will be FREE CALIPER COVERS in custom colors (Red, Yellow, Black Powder Coat, Matte Black Powder Coat etc) with Custom Engraving (Example: "BMW", "135i", "135is", "Turbo", "135i M" etc). The Caliper Cover is high quality and manufacturer is the largest in USA. PM me if interested. Thanks.

I'm curious about this, why would you want a caliper cover on a 135i? They have nice looking brembo brakes. I've only even seen covers on floating-style calipers.

I don’t think this guy has put much thought into this. He is probably spamming every car forum with this same post (he has copy/pasted this post 3 times on this forum alone). The 128i crowd would make more sense to target, but I don’t see too many BMW owners going for caliper covers. Seems like more of a cheap domestic car thing to me.

If I had fancy-ass calipers like on a 135i, I would want them in lime green. Matticus you have good taste. I would probably paint or powdercoat them though instead of a wrap, if they were mine.

My plebian 128i calipers are rust colored.

While we're on the subject I'd like to paint the calipers on my 135is but the factory gray looks pretty good with the Le Mans blue.

Wife said orange but that would look like I'm the NY Mets team car

how about yellow?

The BMW performance calipers are yellow, and look great.

Agreed! I think I'll like the look a lot, but it's still a crazy color. I have the F30 335i brakes, but they're matte grey. They could use some orange...
