G87 rear break calipers upgrade options
Does anyone else feel bothered from the mismatch break calipers when you compare the nice front Brembo calipers to the rear Nissan looking calipers? I would like to upgrade to have them look more similar

....but you probably should do the fronts with a matching set to maintain brake balance: https://www.essexparts.com/ap-racing...0372mm-g80-g82 |

BMW redesigned the parking brake which use to be a drum style brake housed in the rear rotor. That's why the rear on Gx chassis doesn't have fixed calipers like the front anymore, instead it's a single floating caliper which has the redesigned parking brake integrated into it. As a cost cutting measure, they just painted a floating caliper setup the same color as the front brakes, so they don't show the raw iron and become rusty after a few years instead of developing new fixed calipers to accommodate the new parking brake design.
