If you don't care for the added brake performance and just want red calipers for the looks (nothing wrong with this) then painting is definitely the easiest option.
That said, BMW screwed up (whether it was the dealer or the brand) and it's their responsibility to fix it. I'd say $200 out of the dealer's pocket to keep a customer happy would be a no-brainer for them.
If they refuse and won't budge, I'd just walk on the car. You'll have to wait longer by going to another dealer and reordering but at that point I'd say it's more about the principle
