Sakhir orange looks almost red to me, so I'd go with red calipers to match it up better.

If you're getting the laser lights I always think the blue calipers coordinate nicely with the blue accents in the lights.

always blue.

There's no case for any other color on a BMW ///M except yellow for CCBs.

I feel the same about reds.

Red or blue or any color of calipers look good with white car. However, like what others said, get the M sport Blue since there are too many red calipers from other car manufacturers. I think it represents more uniqueness too..

blue. i feel red is too common (I had it 6 years ago on my Q7). I'll add that blue coordinates with the inner blue of the laser lights (if you have them).

Get the blue, which is kind of unique to BMW.
As another said, every manufacturer has red available.

Red just doesn't look good on BMW. I just think of Porsche when I see that….I'm not sure why BMW started the reds.

I vote red, am patriotic, but would avoid a red, white and blue color scheme. The red brakes, interior, and taillights will look great and cohesive with white paint.
