I consulted them before that calipers are 2nd hand but just take off from AMG or Porsche. 
Bill go ahead to ask the lower price and ask for group buy.

I am tempted aswell, feeling the stock brakes are too soft (You're right KC!) compared to my mates car
But changing the front alone looks abit weird though, but changing front & rear sounds abit too much for a 230bhp cars.
Maybe EBC redstuff for my next mod???

No need to concern about the caliper came from where, because all AMG, Porsche are also came from Bembo.

Need to build a "bridge" to make it fit to the E60. Had seen many Brembo taken off from Porsche and re-used on different cars. $8K will be a must buy.
all Brembo calliper will fit on any car with the right bridge

EBC recommends changing both front and rear, safer that way.
have anyone tried carbotech pads, good and detail info on their website. EBC might have good products but the info from their tech / sales depts is pretty poor imho.
