Can someone confirm that original colour for MBPK is Monte Carlo Blue?

Oh, so it is indeed bigger? This is interesting.
In any case since 385mm rotor is bigger - it's going to resist heat better - which will lead to less fade and less vibration due to heat distortion. Plus it looks gorgeous. As I said right now people only stare at my front brakes, but if I had 385mm rear rotors - they would stare at both |

P.S. the only issue is that it's probably not as easy to find just brackets for cheap. |

So we need this carrier part? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-BMW...QAAOSw-btavVh7
Or is there an adapter to use our current carrier?

Not worth it at all. Wish I just would’ve held out for a complete f85 kit..... you can get a used set of rear calipers with the brackets on eBay for under 400 but again, I don’t know if it’s worth it.

Now the M5 rear is even larger so maybe holding out for that is worth it lol

I'm trying to talk myself into just buying a set of rear X5M calipers. That way I can just take the front and rear calipers to get powder coated and don't have to worry about the vehicle being down for any time.
Other option is to just keep the rears the way they are and use G2 paint while the brakes are still on the car. Mod decisions shouldn't be this hard.
