Is any bigger break solution for x6 (excluding Brembo)

Hope most of you will agree that adding Brembo set (over $8K) to lease car is not the most practically solution especially if your major objective is to achieve better look. After some research on this forum I found that bigger break from x5M can be fitted on x5, but seems that no one confirmed that x6M break can be fitted to x6 (3.5/5.0). Does anyone was able to make this trick?

Also if any other option exists for bigger, better looking break for x6 (3.5/5.0) please share your knowledge. Thanks.

Can't believe that I am the only one who want to fit big nice looking break to x6(3.5) without spending $8K on Brembo set... I am sure someone was able to do that trick for less money.
Help.... help... help

Well… seems like stop tech will run around 5.5K … still a lot

Start looking into x6M set but seems like rear brake smaller them front… is that right?

You are installing $5K-$8K brakes primarily for looks? I would spend that money on some wheels that CONCEAL the brakes instead.

That is exactly what I don't want to do: spend $5K-$8K just to have better looking car.

Why for 3-series you can buy great looking M Performance brake for $2K+ but when comes to x6 brake upgrade it's so expensive.

I was hoping to find some cheaper solution but the only one I see so far is to paint my original brake in red (I have white car).

Would be nice to see pics if some one did so.
