Big Brakes

I was wondering where I could get big brakes for my 07 e70 x5 3.0is m sport?
I am more interested in the look not the actual performance of the brakes.

Thanks

You!?!

Shocker...


But, hey- ard has you covered...

BMW Brake Caliper Covers

Caliper Covered, that is. Fill out those big holes that those 22s leave.

(So along with bone jarring rides, and poorer performance, you can get the same stock brake feel)

Sorry, being mean... but it is a way to get the look without the $$$$.

Thanks, but they don't do any for the E70.

Seriously though, you might drop them a note and see if they might do it- the "engineering" is all of 20 minutes, and they prolly have a 'caliper part' that would work, just change the clips.

I mean, admittedly, it isn't bad for the look.

Do you drive it that hard or have you felt that the X does not stop fast enough? I have yet to ever feel that I can't stop the car. In Chicago tragic I have done more than enough "oh s@$t stops and never was worried that I would run out of breaks

The OP is strictly intersted in looks, not performance.
