Can anyone tell me if M5 discs are he same diameter as 545i discs, or if they will fit on my 545i without changing the callipers.
M5
Front 374mm x 36mm
Rear 370mm x 24mm
545i
Front 348mm x 30mm
Rear 345mm x 24mm
The M5 brakes are much larger

The rotors on the M5 are larger and will not fit on your 545i without changing the calipers as well.

You need to install M5 calipers, as me and Rizbel done .
You would notice a big improvement in braking

Do the M5 calipers bolt up to the stock 545 carriers or do you need different carriers? I checked realoem and the part numbers are different between the 545 and m5 carriers.
