Brembo makes OEM BMW calipers!
 

I remember reading in another thread awhile ago that Brembo actually made OEM BMW Calipers but I couldn't confirm it via google search. So armed with a camera, I decided to investigate around the back of the caliper and lo and behold, Brembo is stamped on the back of the front caliper.

I thought I could contribute to the online world who are searching "Are BMW X5M caliper made by Brembo?".....Yes.....yes they are. :thumbup:

I wonder why BMW decided to leave Brembo logo off the front of the caliper? Seems like a good selling point to me. :dunno:

Here are the pics to prove:

The "M" Brakes... Anyway.
 

I noticed that on my recent brake upgrade as well.
Don't believe they have any involvement in those other than for the "M".

Nice!

Brembo is an OEM supplier. My 2004 base-model Touareg had Italian-made Brembos as well.

In general, the fixed multi-piston calipers are supplied by Brembo to BMW. The E31 8 Series from the early '90's also had the 4-pot Brembo calipers.
They also supply other car manufacturers too for their higher end sports cars and sedans (e.g. Cadillac CTS-V). Brembo sure makes quality brake systems.
