Are those the stock 128i brakes painted red fitted with BMWP cross drilled rotors?

What is your wheel and suspension setup?

They are standard 125i/128i calipers with ECS Tuning cross drilled/slotted rotors and cool carbon pads. I'm on Bilstein B14 PSS9 Coilovers about half a finger gap all round - wheel specs are 19x8.5 +35 front and 19x9.5 +45 rear, fair bit of work needed to fit them.

These two? And surely the stock pads would fit also?

Thanks! The 1M mirrors are one of my favourite mods.. very subtle as it's something only "enthusiasts" would pick out. The spoiler and diffuser are both ebay, can't justify paying 2k+ for both of them - they're not perfect but I'm happy with them.

Yup, those would be the ones, they are compatible with standard pads. I bought them about a year ago when the AUD wasn't so crappy but I can't remember how much it was to ship them here, couple hundred?

I punched in Aus on the website. Shipping is almost as expensive as the parts themselves........ This crappy AUD now multiplied it by nearly 1.5, oh my god...

I'll force myself to wait till next year when the dollars are cheaper.

By the way, anyone commented on the painted calipers?

I did a lot of digging and research around, and the general consensus is that people are quite against painting small calipers red/yellow/gold.

From your photos, they seem pretty cool with the cross drilled rotors, so I don't see why all the hate.
