Black will go with anything, White with M stripes, or the classic Red I guess?

Dark purple as shown in the image that you posted would be fairly unique and would look great on a silver or grey Z4

Second choice would be the dark blue

Navy would look good with the Silver Grey but what colour is your interior - how much they quoted you for that little project as fancy it myself?

Blue, black or silver IMO

Black makes a nice contrast with silver anti rattle clips

Cherry red would get my vote. Red is a very common caliper colour (for good reason) so having the darker shade would be different and IMO really suit your car.
