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.

Anymore details on the X5M caliper fitment? what year calipers did you use? i am still looking out for a set of 374MM g11 g12 ones but if there are options im happy to look out for some
