I don't think 135i e82 rears can take a big disk

So that is why your discovery is interesting for me. Larger disks and a nice caliper design
on e90 I guess you can use e82 135i hubs in order not to have the caliper milled down. How ever for me was easier to mill it down. 135i hubs would add 10mm rendering my 18x10 et 25 rear rims useless as they wound not longer with under the fender.
Additionally, only half of the parking brake surface will be usable and most of that mechanism will be exposed.
When changing the hub a bearing replacement might be needed as well adding to the total cost in both parts and labor.
Other then that I have no idea how you can install the caliper with out modifying it.
