So let's define LCI vs non LCI rear setting. This will dictate what everyone does.

As far as I understand. The rear Caliper and rotor for 335 and the respective 328 parts is the same between Lci and nonLci. The part number are the same across models LCI vs NonLci

The difference in track is actually the Knucle holding the caliper and rotor and bearing. It is 5mm each Side wider and causes a headache for LCI owner with low offset wheels. But this allows to use PRE LCI rotor and brake caliper because they are centered correctly on the new Knucle.

Why does BMW do this? Even 1 series LCI has this crappy Knucle change that takes away 3-5mm on the horrible 1 series rear fitment( for those that don't know 1 series hubs are 10 mm longer than equivalent 335 or 328i )

If I am wrong correct me
