Both blue ones are different. My guess is that the left one (with the m logo) even might house a larger pad.

I speculate that the left one is an e60 m5 caliper with dual piston, or maybe even a dual piston 7 series. The other one is 335i

You can recognize those dual piston calipers at the 2 extra slots (they're not going all the way through though) either side of the center slot where the wear sensor lead goes through.

AK72 saw that very correctly.
That’s what I said in my latest post. It wasn’t till I noticed different rotors I took a closer look on my computer and noticed difference in calipers. But it doesn’t matter because I don’t see why anyone would order calipers based on generic pictures. That first post was just a reference to the “look” he was trying to achieve. End of day if you ordered calipers based on part number or cross referenced whichever fits an E9x 335i (which is what this whole thread is about) it would fit correctly. I did this upgrade on 2 separate cars, and it worked fine in both cases.
