The reason being I want to improve my x3 brakes and I have spare f15 front calipers (no rotors at the moment).

If the calipers would fit, how about the rotors? Any issue with the hub size?
I've not measured it, but according to interchange of parts between X3/4/5/6, rotor bore size is the same and caliper bolt spacing is the same in the front. In theory, any X3/4/5/6 brakes will bolt right on up front.

If you have spare calipers, you'd probably only need the rotors. That said, the upgrade from 328/28 to 332/30 is so negligible I wouldn't bother.

The 395/36 four or six piston setup are the real performance upgrade options.There's a dual piston sliding caliper 365/36 or 385/36 option, too, for those wanting to clear smaller wheels.
