My Ride: 530d M Sport. It has Heads Up Display...need I say more...
The fronts are direct bolt on, no need to do anything with the dust shields, etc.
The rears, however, you will need new dust shields and note that the grub screw that holds the rear discs on to the hub do not line up at all, but no really problem.
Other than that, superb upgrade. I just tested my M5 brakes (all round) at the Nurburgring a couple of weekends ago and they were superb.
