No I didnt swap. I was researching the swap, its mentioned on babybmw forums - to use 130i sizd rotors.
130i has the caliper from the 128i, but it sits on a different carrier. You can keep your 128i brake pads

Before I could commit, I stumbled upon a dealer take off caliper & rotors from 135i for a steal of a price and just 35 km on it, brand new. Dealer blinged up the ride to perf stuff.



New possible rotor that the e90 330i caliper carrier can unlock:
e46 330i performance rotors: 325mm x 25mm !!! vs the z4's 330m x 24mm
