Anyone else get the wrong color calipers?
I ordered red calipers but received blue. Is BMW gonna try to bone me on switching these out? Anyone ever heard of caliper color being screwed up???

Nothing surprises me in the auto industry these days.

Sticker has wrong color (maybe because Shadowline option is standard with blue?). My signed Purchase Agreement has a separate line item specifying the optional RED calipers. Hopefully, they'll just man up, admit their screwup, and make it right - LOL!

if you signed for an item that was specifically listed, I highly doubt they can weasel their way out of it.

Let me know how it goes! I'm in the same boat, when I brought it up over the phone I was basically told to wait and see it and if I'm not satisfied we'll discuss it then…

What if you say you'll decline delivery? Maybe they'll rectify if they get a sense that you won't go through with getting the car?
Best of luck! |

Did it come in with blue calipers or does it say it on your bmw garage? The desk manager probably forgot to click that option when building it in the order bank

Not surprisingly, they're not willing to own up to their screwup! |

From what I gather from several online reviews is the brakes are not very good. Supposedly even on spirited canyon drives you're getting a lot of pedal travel and lose feel.
Maybe this could be a good opportunity for an aftermarket Brembo system. Negotiate with the dealer for free installation. |

They will not swap the calipers. They would need to order another car. There could have been a lack of red calipers at assembly time.
