Anyone know the paint code or descriptive color for the new M brake calipers?

i would assume its Monte Carlo Blue since thats the signature color of the new F10. The yellow M performance calipers have been determined to be Phoenix Yellow factory color.

the only thing I'm thinking is...

yeah it's probably that color...

but it's gotta be some special high temp mix of the paint.

I'm guessing they are currently easily over $1000 for the set. My BMW E46 floating drilled rotors cost over $400 for the set

I just looked them up. They seem to be about $480-$500 a piece.

LIKE! Guys, it has a ///M stamped on the rotor. It must be worth it! lol.

Can't decide how that blue would look paired with Imola.

I imagine it would be similar to melbourne red f10 m5 with it.
