The same modification have been made by a good friend of mine with the nickname Nicke60gr in his E60 without changing anything else apart from calipers, rotors and carriers and some hex bolts

No. He has a 520i and replaced the normal brake calipers and rotors with the complete front set of oem M5 brake calipers, rotors and cariers without further modifications
