Best bet would be to check the OEM part numbers and see if they are the same.

well i checked and they are the same
thanks

Nice now hit the appreciation button! LOL glad it worked out for you.

I don't think the strut or most of the suspension parts will be the same.

Well, i just checked by taping the parts number from my car in the OEM official site, the wheel house is the same for f10/f11 5series as well as for the whole F 6series models.
susp parts are not you re right thanks.

yep. Just for future reference, the major differences between M cars and the standard cars are usually:

1. motor + transmission + drivetrain/differentials (and all related parts attached to it, though it may share some common parts such as the radiator, hoses, etc)

2. suspension and structure including how the measurements for wheel/brake location (while the unibody is the same, the M car may have additional chassis welds to increase structural rigidity

3. interior leather and steering wheel

4. body panels (it was just this odd case that the 6 series hood is the same as the M6, but traditionally, it's never been the same due to different body panel design)

6. wheels and brakes including brake booster, unique offsets and wheels widths.

Yep.. that helps me a lot thank u
In case of conversion of the brake rotors from ceramic to normal steel rotors is it possible for a competion package does it fit? Just asking

[Flying Ace]

competition package doesn't effect swapping the brakes.

Going to ceramics is a huge step. You'll need a shop that knows what it's doing. There's a thread out there on F80 part of bimmerpost that shows what's involved. Aside from the basic braking parts, you'll need a servo/booster and a bunch of clips and screws.

You're looking at a $12k in parts alone. BMW sells a "conversion kit". Then you'll have to get it installed.

Well i mean going from ceramic to normal,not upgrading to ceramic, i guess its the same procedure but in the other direction not just replacing the rotors calipers and pads

New brake booster will be needed
