BMW 135i front Brembo calipers. Although I've heard brake pads need to be machined down 1mm each side.

That's a good question...The Porsche 996 setup has been done. A company called Rallyroad (
https://rallyroad.net/) sells the adaptor brackets to mount the 996 calipers that will then work on with the Z4M disks...
I've never heard of doing the 135i calipers but from what I hear...probably not a good idea as the pistons are prone to cracking if they are pushed say at a track...
It could be possible to try the F80 or the F30 calipers with the stock disks...(I've never tried this)...see if it lines up/if not...what type of bracket would be needed to make it happen...
To be honest...I just bit the bullet and bought a Stoptech front and rear kit...sitting in a box...going on once the car comes out late April after winter hibernation...
