That looks great! Well done! Regarding the rears, I think the easiest option is to bolt on the 550i rear rotors/calipers (345x24mm). My understanding is that anything other than this set up will require special brackets or fabrication to work. I know that some guys have retrofitted M5 fronts/rears, and there was some Russian guy who was selling a special bracket to make everything bolt up correctly, but the bracket alone was pretty big money. I'd have to dig a bit to find the details, though.
I know that you can get cross-drilled 550i rear rotors (at least in the UK), so that will help match the look of the fronts, even if the rotors are still not as big as you'd like:

Otherwise, you could do an aftermarket BBK for the rear, but then you're getting into some big money as well.
