Rust on Brake Callipers
Has anyone else experienced this? My car is 3000 miles/3months old and does! Never seen rusty callipers on any of my previous BMW's.

oh goodie the fake "brembo" look
![]() If you must paint them, IMO, paint them black. If you can pull the caliper entirely off the car, put a cleaner on it and steel wool off as much rust as possible first ![]()

You may want to try Bavarian Autosport part # TAP003 - Caliper covers - come in three colors and apparently stick over the calipers. It does not specify if they fit X5's. They look like they would last alot longer than paint.....easier too.

I would paint them with high temp silver brake/engine primer and then high temp silver brake/engine paint...if you want to add color buy a big brake kit that will not only improve the look but the stopping power as well.

I think the break dust contains iron and that can get on other parts and show corrosion. i've seen particle/ spot corrosions even on the running boards (they are aluminum of course). brake dust is my guess
