Front Brake Calipers from a 535

The accepted upgrade path is to use E46 330 (petrol or diesel) calipers and their carriers. This conversion is a direct bolt on replacement requiring only the larger sized rotor and associated pads.

This also makes it match the facelift front to rear disk sizes and so is a balanced system
 
Wheel clearance, if you caliper fits, the caliper guide directly mounting on or not....
They hit a lot of points concerning brake upgrade here
 
Not true about bigger is always better, unless it's a proper thought out solution. As Aebous points out interference is the first problem. and frankly there's not a lot of space left around mine even on 18's. Next issues start to come with brake balance where you can end up with too much ont he front and nothing ont he rear. After that you can have issues with the size of piston. Simply put the master cylinder has to be in the correct ratio to the slaves else it will all go wrong in terms of travel or pad pressure.

Reason the E46 works is frankly it's off the same suspension system that the Zed uses.
