M Sport Brakes

Most of the M Sport brake pictures I’ve seen show them in blue but I have seen some pictures of them in red (like in the M catalog). Does anyone know if you can order them in either color or are the pictures I am seeing perhaps two different brakes?

red is for M Performance optional brakes which cost much more than the standard ones due to cross driller rotors/and I think they're 6 piston fronts /4 piston rears, maybe 2?

I haven't seen that option for the X5. Is it only for M cars?

I went without M Brakes as I thought/think the brakes on the M Sport 50i were sufficient, however if at some point someone makes those parts / kit available I would buy it.

Any thoughts if a company would make a kit? Or would I just have to buy the OEM parts individually and install them?

It might be worth watching junk yards if one gets totaled to go get the brakes and rotors off of it, question would they simply plug in or would I need to have the dealer change programing.

UPDATE

After a quick internet search looks like BMW will offee a upgrade kit with M Sport Performance brakes, and the best part is they will be RED in color... The problem is I can't find a place to insert my CC to buy it :-(

The kits are likely the same as previous generations and will run you a few thousand. This is the kit from the F15 generation X5, I'm not sure if it's the same
