ok, sure

But Red calipers are very common in other sporty vehicles, I see many of them... Blue to me screams BMW

If I get a G42, it will be black with red interior and optional red calipers would be soooooo much better than blue.

I want to do the superman combo, ie blue ext with red interior. although the blue calipers will look great, I think having red ones would look even more dope!

Looks like red calipers will be an M performance part that can be installed at the dealer… kinda dumb tbh why not option it from the factory…

EDIT: this guy is from Canada, but may be the same in US?

WOW. My regional rep just emailed me and we're now getting red calipers.

"Good news – we were able to add Red Calipers to the M240 option profile. You can thank the vocal customers and dealers for their input as it can cause positive change. ��"

Should be on ordering guides tomorrow. I don't wanna say we had anything to do with it...but maybe we did LOL.

No way! Will be waiting impatiently for confirmation.

Emailed BMW Genius twice about it over the past 2 weeks and called last week to follow up. No response to emails and the customer service rep was unable to explain, only promised to follow up.

That’s great, hopefully that is indeed the case.

Glad BMW reacted quickly as it seemed maybe was an oversight since the 230 had them avail and not M240.

There are certain colors where it would be nice to have the option.

That's amazing! I wonder if it was just an oversight so a simple fix. No matter, that is super awesome. I was actually getting bummed out about the car with blue brakes on a black over red build. :

Car won't go into production until October so you'll be fine.

Ahh yes seeing now that a bunch have gone into production.

Unfortunate for you if you wanted the red calipers.

Yeah, 100% sure - M240i. Went into "Production started" (status 150) two days ago. I have a VIN now. To be fair, I ordered pretty much as soon as I could.

I'm happy with blue thankfully but didn't want anyone with their heart set on red to order thinking they aren't building them yet.
