FYI I just listed my GT for sale on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-BMW-5-...o/163050847095

Cheers!

F10 M5 brakes require an adapter front and rear which cost almost as much as my calipers and while they are nicer and have more pistons up front at least, they are also very pricey for me. I bought X5M front calipers for a good price and rebuilt them myself and they just bolt on to the F10 without an adapter. I did need a small 4mm spacer between the F10 knuckle and caliper due to the offset of the X5M rotor. X5M front brake rotors are massive as well at 395mm vs 400mm of the M5. Im sure they will also stop my 535xi just as well.

And I believe the F10 uses a different ebrake system than an F01 because the F10 has the electric motor on the rear caliper while the F01 does not.
