I have alufelgen cs7 on my 135i and would like to know if I could clear a big brake kit. I don't want to dish out that cash and find out that they don't clear. So if any of you guys can help me out with this it would be much appreciated.

Brake manufacturers often have templates for testing this. Check on a dealer's webpage for the template for the kit you're looking at, print it out, cut it out, test it out, and hope for the best!

Use the BBK templates as VMR mentioned above.

I have 18" CS-7 wheels on my 135i. See here for the results of my research into a BBK for 18" wheels. The largest I could fit was a 355x32mm Front & 345x28mm Rear set-up - the 370-380mm rotor just wasn't possible. A different brand of BBK may fit but the template should remove all doubt. The caliper was the culprit of clearance issues on the CS-7.
