Yeah I saw them from
http://www.goingsuperfast.com/Brake.html pre-milled. But I didn't want to be paying for someone else to rebuild/paint/mill a caliper when I could do that all myself if needed.
As for the banana calipers, they are for a bigger rotor than I was interested on running (368mm) and require removal of the caliper for pad swaps, which I wasn't too keen on. Though I believe they actually had slightly better pad selection than the 18Z. Pedal feel would have been a bit messed up with a 20% increase in piston area over the 325i.
I also got the Cayenne S calipers for pretty cheap, $450CAD for the set.
Here are some "p0lar" threads that came up in my search. It looks like he may have only been doing the brackets for the E46, but he certainly does mill the 18Z caliper. I didn't go down that rabbit hole since I wasn't interested in modifying the caliper if I could avoid it.
