F56 JCW front brake calipers on R56?
Has anyone tried this? F56 JCW calipers look very similar to R56 Calipers but part numbers are different, good deal on a set here locally, If mounts are the same might give them a try.

Getting the calipers mounted might be the easy part. Getting rotors to match will be the harder part. Bolt pattern is different, and offset looks off, too.
If you want a bolt on kit, this ain’t it.

I would get some 4 pot JCW calipers from a R55-R59, much easier and the braking will improve as much as these. Sell them to a F55-F57 guy and make some profit, they will take them in a heartbeat. Lots of work to make them work.

This. This will be a raging headache to retrofit. Assuming you somehow get the caliper to fit, fitting the newer MUCH larger rotor will be a giant pain.
