Are 135i Front Calipers Directional

I am putting together the parts to upgrade my 128i brakes to 135i fronts and 328i rears.
Are the 135i front calipers identical left or right? Or do I need to make sure that I get a left side version and a right side version?

All calipers are either left or right. Pay attention to the bleeder valve to know which side is left and which is right. The bleeder valve is always on top.

If you install them bleeder down you'll never properly bleed the system and always have a mushy pedal. I learned this the hard way back in high school.
