Questions about Brembo brake swapability

I figured I'd ask here because 1addicts seem to know so much about the cars. My car is a 2012 135i coupe. It was made actually in 2011, but it's a 2012 officially. As with most 135i models, mine has the large diameter rotors and Brembo calipers, which is a fixed caliper design. It's easy to work on and looks great. Here's my question: Is it an easy and feasible task to switch out non-Brembo brakes and replace with the Brembo system on other BMW models? Are the Brembo rotors and calipers all the same on other models, like 3 series or 5 series? (Not considering the colours which may be grey, blue, yellow, red)
If I buy a 3 series or a 5 series without Brembos, can they be easily installed? Any ideas of the cost of the calipers? Thanks for any info you can provide.
