Looking forward to follow your progress.
I have also looked into what brake differences there are within the F10 range. The stock brakes differs in the US compared to Europe.
Example for front F10 brakes below:
535i (US) uses 2-piece non-directional 348x30 rotors.
Partnr. 34 11 6 786 820
Caliper housing.
L: partnr. 34 11 6 792 689
R: partnr. 34 11 6 792 690
Caliper carrier.
Partnr. 34 11 6 792 691
Brake pads.
Partnr. 34 11 6 850 885
535i/535d (Eu) use the same brakes as 550i (US), that is 2-piece directional 348x36 rotors.
L: partnr. 34 11 6 785 669
R: partnr. 34 11 6 785 670
Caliper housing.
L: partnr. 34 11 6 786 817
R: partnr. 34 11 6 786 818
Caliper carrier.
Partnr. 34 11 6 786 820
Brake pads.
Partnr. 34 11 6 851 269
550i in Europe instead uses 2-piece directional 374x36 rotors.
L: partnr. 34 11 6 785 675
R: partnr. 34 11 6 785 676
Caliper housing.
L: partnr. 34 11 6 786 817
R: partnr. 34 11 6 786 818
Caliper carrier.
Partnr. 34 11 6 786 829
Brake pads.
Partnr. 34 11 6 851 269
So one simple mod for 535 and 550 owners in the US is to order European 550i front brakes, if you have 550i only brake caliper carriers, pads and rotors are needed (calipers is the same). For 535 carriers, calipers, rotors and pads are needed.
