I have seen people put these on the Audi A4, which is a relatively small sedan compared to the E60. I think as long as you already have a 18 or larger rim, you should be okay.
Don't quote me on this though, let's wait and see what others say

Hi Guys,
Been wondering for a long time. Is it possible to fit a cayenne stock brakes onto my e60 ?
And if possible, does it need to be modified or anything ?
Regards,
Mark

As for others doing this on an Audi, as they are in the same "family", part interchanges probably are probably simpler?

Yeah most Audi/ VW big break kits come from there new owners ( Porsche), funny thing is that the MKIV r32 front breaks are the same ones used on the 1995-6 BMW 7's form the middle east ( they are huge )
You might have some issues with the sensors , the Rain scrub, hill desent etc... also maybe with the Break resivour too.
The Cayenne Turbo/ and S breaks are huge! You will need some very big clearance on all the rims due to the calpiers being huge, and the rotors/disks are not small either.

if you have 19" wheels, why not go for used M5 brakes? they are HUGE, dual piston, cross-drilled, and bolt right up. what more could you ask for?
They are not so powerful to be honest, but they are the best solution: M5 to seriously improve the braking, but if you will go on track for an entire day you will need Brembo .
