You can fit a brembo or stoptech designed for the E9x BBK fwiw. It does cost more but is designed properly for the chassis and ABS etc. which mean correct brake bias and abs functionality etc.

Installing other calipers does not guarantee better stopping or that it will work correctly or as well as a real BBK designed for the car. I only mention this because people often just want the look of a BBK but don't take into consideration the incorrect piston sizing etc. and how it will effect performance.

Or do the f80 match the non M e9X calipers exactly?
Would have to look into it more, but I believe that it requires a different bracket/adapter to fit those calipers I know stopping power is improved but not sure on the braking bias.
