Indeed they do. They look a bit different from the picture provided in the auction link below, don't you think?

For those wondering, these are not M5 calipers. I wanted something that was bigger but could still fit under the factory 17" XDrive ET43 wheels so I opted for the standard 535i RWD upgrade. I was not sure they would without spacers, but they do and just barely...
The rotors are approximately 1" larger than XDrive rotors both front and rear...
I have only done the fronts so far. The rears require the same treatment as M5 rears so new hubs are coming.

Yes, they do look different. So these are E60 RWD rotors and calipers?
I know that the wagon gets smaller brakes than the sedans.

My Ride: 535i xdrive, white, premium
this is great!
thanks for posting , im fully subscribed , esp since i have a 2010 535 xdrive msport
ive done jb4, dci, and dinan exhaust and am very pleased, but since im in socal, its hard to find anything above 91 on a daily basis to play around with fuels and maps. ill do some searching for adding 100 octane to mess around a bit and see what happens
definitely occ and fmic next!!
ive only got 17,500 miles so occ ordered right now.
what suspension are you going with , I am pretty sure the only coilover for us is the KW V3
I too have a baby thats due in Jan, so congrats to you Biz77!!
im in the same boat between baby money and modding money haha!!

Great thread albeit a little old. Any updates, experiences or changes. I just got a 08 535xi with 70K miles and this is the most comprehensive build thread I have found thus far!

Congrats on the baby
I've been busy with my 1-1/2 yr old myself
I have not done anything to the suspension
I do agree with the oem sleeper look, i would like to lower but not to coilovers.
