you can upgrade to 330I rears and keep the fronts at 325MM then you will have a brake bias the same as the "I" technically speaking. as the only difference between the I and SI brake wise is the rotor was larger in the front and had a bigger caliper, the rear calipers are the same. Thats why its very easy to upgrade the I to SI brakes as they are simply bolt on.

thank god i found your post...after researching more, I got screwed. The rotors I have are 300mm but per realoem, they are for a z3, 323i, 325i,ci,xi and 328i,ci . So I'm screwed and have to buy new fronts as well now. But at least you saved me a huge headache. It sucks that all the websites that sell parts have the part I have now to fit my car's fronts. Incredible. Thanks again for your help!
edit...yea, can't return as I bought this off someone at a z4 forum.
