The rotor mounting is similar and caliper mounting will fit, but 530 6spd brakes are 310mm vs 320mm for autos. 545 stocks are 13.8 (348mm).
The dust shields "might"be the same, you'll have to check the real oem website. Make sure the brakes are from an automatic so you'll be an 1inch rotor surface difference. If not they wont be adequate to stop the V8 you'll go threw pads like crazy and possibly not enough stopping power
Everything should bolt right in though emphasis on the should
I have your V8 calipers for Sale fyi

My Ride: 05 545/6
he's getting rid of his M5 units as he sells his car and needs something to put back on the car.
the 545 front calipers and rotors show as the same part on the 545,550, 535 and the 645/650. 530 brakes are too small for a 545.
