Im sure theirs more than a few but then your going down the road of building brackets to make them fit and possibly adding custom rotors.

I've always found the MINI brakes to be some of the best on the road, I don't know of something better off the street. I think if I wanted something higher performance I'd go first to JCW, then to Wilwood or Brembo kits.......

The stock BMW Calipers are very high quality. Why would you want to swap them out with another manufacturers calipers? Are you looking to put sports car brakes on your mini? If you are....then as people have just said.....look at Brembo and Willwood first. That is who most of these car companies go to for their brakes in the first place.
