I've read some posts saying it can't, but there was no measurements or actual data to show this (seems just hearsay). Can anyone positively confirm?

Reason I ask - I'm looking to piece together some other components for the front, and knowing what can/can't fit will help me determine what else I can swap over. If a Z4M caliper can fit up front, then I can follow some of the E46 M3 upgrade paths for the front system without issue.

I may be able to mix/match parts from Stoptech to move up to a 355mm system knowing this info. Since no one makes a 355mm upgrade to the 3.0si (or E46 330i from what I've seen), I may have to piece something together.

Am I not happy with my current brakes? No. Why do I want to do this? Because Racecar
#1st world problems!

Looks like there's not much difference in cost between the Z4M and 335 calipers based on FCP Euro pricing. Might have a better chance finding E90 calipers used though......
