Edit: Did a little more digging, and the rears are already 294 mm. 330i rears are 320 mm. GLWS OP!


here is a link to the brake convertion chart.

our rear brakes on the "I" are the same size of those on the "si" by going this route you will have the same front brakes that are on the "SI" so you will gain brake performance without affecting handling, to keep the ratio the same on your "I" you can later change the rear setup with calipers and rotors for a 330I and go much bigger all around, but changing just the fronts will not negativly affect your brake bias as you will be running the same brake pakage as the "SI".

but again all this is explained in the link.
