X5M brake caliper covers
Does anyone know what year they started putting these on X5Ms? I know 2013 not sure about 2012? Can you put them on a 2011?

I think they started using late 2012 models.
They are exactly same calipers in cool color so if you have earlier X5M (2010-2012), it's direct swap. But I'm not sure it will work with non-Ms.

It's just painted a different color, with an ///M logo. You can have your caliper powdercoated any color you want, and put the logo on it, for a unique look.

My caliper covers....you can buy the front X5M calipers and discs for a regular X5 I was planning to swap a set on my diesel but it might be over kill for my wife's daily driver.
Looks like orange is the new black around here...

I have caliper covers on all my Ms, there is a local manufacturer in Chicago called Viga Design. I can PM the contact info to anybody interested. You can pick your color and logo. One of the coolest cosmetic upgrades to personalize your car.

Yes it's powder coated, I just told my powder coater what I wanted and he nailed it a creamy orange with a bunch of pearl. The brembo is a sticker that was put on before the clear coat was applied.

These are mine, bought the calipers off ebay for cheap and painted them body color. Always liked the way my 135is calipers looked so this is similar.
I pray the op is joking, Screw that JC Whitney caliper cover bullshit! You have no idea the ridicule you get behind the scenes, we all know that shit is fake and your car doesn't deserve that type of cheap Chinese plastic on it. Do it right or not at all. Or just paint your stockers but please don't put caps on it. |
