But as I said, once I spoke a guy who tried the 330i-z4 front brake swap and he said that his mechanic said that it didn't line up properly. He got the parts used, so maybe he got wrong parts or so. I wasn't there. I haven't done the swap myself, I have the ECS BBK set.
If you look at dimensions from brembo the front discs should be the same, and as you said: kingpin and caliper/carrier are the same for the e46 330i and e85 3.0si.
Uh yeah THAT E46

For the front all the part number match, there's no difference. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work... unless he took parts from an E36 330..
