Hi all 
Here a littel picture serie of how to change/re-store the rear brakes on a BMW E60/61 525IA ( prod. date 12/2003 ) , but I think it is "allmost" the same for the most E6x's ( in princip )
If one choose to work on the brakes of ther car , he/she must be skilled for this job
, due to it is a safty part of the car 
, and following the picture serie in order to do this job your self , doing this is on one's own risc ! 
But her you go , have fun

These are great photos, thanks for taking the time to create this post. The results are really nice looking.
Once suggestion: It would be best to hang the caliper with wire as opposed to letting it hang on the brake line.

Perfect DYI and photos,
as I need to do it myself soon I have a lot of questions:
did you paint it brake disks also? Or they just look like painted? Or did they come painted? Did you use OEM, or aftermarket - any recommendation?
thx

Hi
The Brakedisc's did come so , they are OEM BMW brakedisc's , and I'l hardly recomend OEM , I have in the paste had a lot of "bad" experience with non OEM disc's 
( front and rear ).
