a cheaper bbk for 128i with this kit??

Hi guys, I've skimmed through the first 3pages and this has me excited

Can some one confirm my interpretation

The use of the caliper repair/rebuild kit will allow someone to use second hand 135i calipers, rebuild them and possibly create a bbk set up with larger rotors?

So the 128i stands to benefit, since I don think the rear brakes differ in size by much. Obviously there would be brake bias, but that can be adjusted by having the dealer flash for 128i BMP bbk, which uses 135i front brakes.
