has anyone on the forum retro fitted another car brands brakes to the e92 335i?

All Brembo upgrades use "some" other car's brakes.
On BMW's people have used Porsche calipers, etc.
Brembo has their bolts in a vertical orientation and BME uses a horizontal bolts to attach caliper to carrier. Brembo calipers need adapters.

The Brembo calipers that BMW uses on performance brakes have a special flange area to use horizontal bolts to mate with stock caliper carriers.
