You've told me a bigger caliper is needed for a big brake disc. So I would assume that changing the brake disc alone is not do-able... I am confused.

C16 means you can change third party same size disc (with drill hole or slot) but not OEM. Just liked he did before.

Yeah you can opt for drilled/slotted discs as long as they are the same diameter as your current set up. If you want bigger discs, then you will have to upgrade to bigger calipers...!

totally agree, the GTI driver is reckless while the e46 driver is plain stupid. but I dunno what appledaily judged that the e46 driver is the one who are in fault.

I guess:

different disc diameter will take differen bridges cos the position of caliper will be different.
if the disc is too thick or thin for a certain caliper, you will need to change the caliper as well.
you can always find a disc that fit your current brake settings if you only want to change the disc.

I think I will not pursuit further with brake upgrade.
