So I just bought my 2024 G42 M240i xDrive. And I have been pouring over my brakes to try and figure out what I have. Four pistons in front, 2 in back, red calipers, smooth rotors. But what Im confused on is this has elements of both sport and performance brake kits. So which are they? The red color suggest performance, the smooth, probably smaller rotors suggest sport. But I thought sport only came in the blue. Fyi I am in the US, this is a mexico build VIN starting with 3MW… so yeah any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

The M-Sport Brakes in red is an optional upgrade in some markets, but seems to be standard on the M240i xDrive in the US. Red isn't just used on the M-Performance brakes any more.

the only option in other Markets is to coose color between blue and red.. no difference... btw wrong forum ( you posted in G87-Part of the Forum)

Got it! Online info seemed to be conflicting or maybe just a bit outdated. Thanks for the reply! Regardless love the setup was just curious. Appreciate the reply!

Oh sorry about that, Im not sure how that happened. Im new here! Lol and yes that is what Im now finding as well given the other person here’s reply. Sport in red it is!

The M240 has the option of red or blue brake calipers, unless you get the track and cooling package. That only comes with the choice of blue.

I think that’s dependent on the region. My G42 has all packages / options and there was no caliper color choice, just red (Canada).
