Hello all. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Tango Red S5 with black interior. Car is being transferred from another dealer and I have a few days to change my mind. The red appealed which I saw on another model stood out more, my only reservation is the red calipers seems a bit much.

Thoughts?

I'd get it. The red calipers should not be a deal breaker.
Now the red calipers means it has the S Sport package, so if you dislike them so much, I would just find one without that package and you will save thousands.

I think that will look awesome, but I am biased as I have a S5 coupe on order in Tango Red with the sport package and 19" wheel option because I could not find one with that combo on a dealer lot (although I ordered it with the gray interior).

The red is awesome and the red calipers are definitely not too much.

P.S. I'm completely bias....

+1. The red calipers would just look fine. I feel that you should not be too concerned about the red calipers. If I were in my shoes, I will see this as a minor niggle considering that the rest of the car is what I want to get. But, if you still don't like the red calipers and you are being tormented by those suckers, look for that perfect Tango Red S5 or place a customer order and wait for 3 to 4 months.

Here's a Tango Red S5 with Red Calipers. They do not stand out, IMHO.

I'm with you, Raceboy! Our Tango Red S5 SB's with the red calipers look great.

Even if they standout when new, just give it a few thousand miles and they will be covered with brake dust. They are impossible to keep clean....

Same interior and S sport package. Get it.
