Car is EU spec, but check ur build sheet, it may have option code S212A, which is "Country Specific Brake System". This means US-spec brakes & calipers.
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).
