BBK advice

Think they fit within these?

Not to derail - but it looks like a two year old wrote AP Racing on those :P

Depends on which brake setup. It should clear a 355-mm disc setup, but you may need spacers to clear the calipers. 380-mm will need larger rims...

I’ve been running the Rotora FC6 and FC4 set up on my car, full BBK with larger 2-piece rotors. I use 2 sets of pads either for moderate HPDE or day to day driving. They have excellent feel, the set up with F+R is very balanced with stock like Bias. Stopping power is now all about the tires. On the track with EBC yellows the BMW Dot 4 will boil before the pads fade. They are far bigger with the Drift scene, but there are a few BMW teams that campaign them professionally. I guessing they are also a bit cheaper then AP.

That being said, parts (like pads) are fewer, a pain to find and expensive. I’m going to be looking to replace the rotor discs soon and have yet to find them anywhere. Customer service is not great. Also, their brake lines are not that great (but you can use other brands). They also come in limited colors.

Maybe that helps you.
