Don't you get black/unpainted calipers if you don't get the M Sport package (or whatever it's called), but if you get towing you get unpainted M sport calipers? Something like that?

Painted silver, or just a bare aluminum? If bare aluminum they'll be blackish after a few thousand miles of brake dust with the amount these bad boys dust :P


Side note, gold/bronze calipers on dark green look amazing.

Bare. OP is getting an M60i so MSport brakes are standard.

Ah, yes, well then sounds like he's going to be getting them repainted or powder coated then.
