If you read my thread on salt corrosion you will get some idea how weak BMW brake callipers are with surface rust and discolouration.....
Unless Raven has some information that he would like to share with us all concerning the rear calipers. There are currently no aftermarket or BMW Performance rear calipers available for direct fitment to the E89 due to the electronic activated parking brake. A few people have removed & disassembled the calipers F&R and had them powder coated or painted. Still they are not the most aestheticaly pleasing pieces of hardware.
