Yeah, I just sold the sweet set of those that I had to one of the F10 5-series guys because they didn't clear my 19" wheels. Cheaper to recoup the cash from those than pony up a few thousand bucks for a new set of wheels and tires.
But, yes, with the spacers you can run any E70, E71, E72, F15, F16, F85, F86 front brake setup that you want on the front of your F25 or F26! The debris/heat shield will require a little trimming, but nothing major. Optionally, you could just bend back the interfering portions of the shield.
The setup I'm ending up with, the X5 50i brakes, are by far the best bang for the buck if you source the calipers used and price shop new rotors and pads. I spent nearly $900 on those remanufactured, like new, E70 X5M calipers, which I thought was pretty cheap, but still expensive. That setup would have been closer to $1500, than the $500 that I'll spend on the 50i setup.
