WOWOWOW. This is precisely what I'm trying to do! I'm worried about the rear brake shield to install, but it looks straightforward. Thanks!

For me (2017 F33), the rear brake shield that was on the car was fine. Plenty of clearance for the 345mm rotors. I think BMW was trying to reduce the number of different parts they used, so they used one shield for all non-M rear rotors.

Did you upgrade the brakes by individually purchasing all the parts? Did you save money this way vs buying a entire kit?

I bought the parts individually. The big savings was buying used calipers from eBay. If I were to buy all new, the kit would be much less expensive.
