Here is the info that I gathered for the F80 swap which is different in the front than the F30 swap... I believe that the F30 is an easier swap with the 335i front spindles and F80 needs a true F80 spindle. (of course using an F30 spindle is also possible with the F30 swap but it can work with the 335 spindle). If using e90 M3 front shocks then I think the newer spindle is needed for for either F30 or F80 because of different caliper mounting points compared to the e90 M3.
The calipers are different between the F30 and F80 due to the mounting offsets. So to go true F80 it would require a front spindle swap. I believe the rear calipers are the same and just need a washer between them and the e90 M3 rear spindle. This does require the e90 M3 rear spindle or you would need offset bushings to run the 335 version.

Make sure to swap out the master cylinder from 335i to M3 aswell.
