Did BMW update brakes on 2015 328?

I have a 2014 328 with the standard brakes. Yesterday I got a loaner car which is a 2015 328. Both cars are M sport. The front brake calipers on the loaner car look significantly different but are not blue. Did they do something to update the brakes on the 15 versus the 14?

no, the calipers are completely different. I'm not comparing the brake feel just the appearance of the calipers. My brakes are being replaced today, so I didn't even bother to compare feel. They look like the stock 335 front brake calipers, not those on the 328.

Sharp eyes they did dammit.

P337A M Sport trim package was a 330mm front disc <2014

P337A in 2015 is the 340mm disc and caliper.

that sorta pisses me off cuz I have the 330mm as well and the options for it, especially replacement rotors are virtually nonexistent. Pads sure but rotors are really limited.
