Yes, no and MAYBE.
BMW calipers use a screw-in type line fitting, where the line terminates in a threaded tip that goes into the caliper. Some OE fixed Brembo calipers use the same design.
MOST aftermarket and the majority of Brembo's OE fixed calipers use a banjo bolt type fitting to the caliper, so the fitting on the caliper end is universal. Changes are pretty damn good that the caliper end fitting for the brake lines are the same. Probably 95% certainty that the banjo bolt fittings are the same between AFTERMARKET solutions like StopTECH, Brembo Aftermarket, Wilwood, AP Racing, Performance Friction, RacingBrake...etc. The hard-line connection (from the flexible brake line to the hard line on the body side of the car) may be different from car to car, but the majority I've seen uses the same threaded collar. The only difference in application is, obviously, the length of the flexible line.
