There's no difference in the brakes between N52/3 & N20, & S212A potentially exist in all HK-spec cars except M5.
In a nutshell, if no option code S212A then front brakes 348mm. If it has S212A then 330mm front discs & different calipers (basically same system as 523i/520i).
Good in depth research there... think positive, if you ever want to ditch your brakes for something else, you wouldn't be as reluctant
