1. Don't forget this dude is in Europe. Buying a kit from the US entails considerable $$$ import duties. 
2. 354mm rotors are even smaller than the stock 545i stock rotors (front) - this guy mentioned that looks is an important motivating factor to change.

The point of the 354mm rotors was an oversight on my part...

I've asked my local tuner to get me the part number for the Brembo Grand Turismo F50 4 piston front brake kit that fits on an E60. In the meanwhile, check out this deal. It's not Brembo, but I heard JBT makes awesome brake systems like StopTech (which may be another option for you). Eurorev was offering JBT 8 piston front and JBT 4 piston rear together for US$4900! That is a deal! Check out the links below.

Another solution would be contacting andy, since his dealer quoted him 3100 euro for a complete set of m5 brakes. Maybe he can help me out with this.

Sure, I will ask them for a quote. I'm on vacation at the moment, but I'll email my dealer and ask for a price including discount.
