That is also a really elegant solution.

I might do that to a set in the future (thats a rotor with an aluminium hat), but because the z4 has a massive hat on the rotor, that might involve a different drive flange..... (I don't know if it's safe to mount a caliper that far from the mounting holes/ spacer up an inch or so)

Or I could do this to the x3 disc and convert it back to the stock 160mm handbrake shoes.

My current setup still performs flawlessly. And it's nice to have a sort of OEM look-a-like BBK. Especially at this price.
Not that I would mind a brembo GT set all around, but that is a bit too $$ for me. This current setup (front and rear) has cost me about $2200,- total (so discs, calipers, pads, ss lines, mounting plates, dustplates, postage (to europe$$) etc)
