The correct 374mm *829 carriers have '929' cast into them. The 348mm *820 ones have '928' cast in.
I ended up buying some complete low-mileage calipers with the right carriers from eastern Europe on eBay after verifying the carriers in the photos.

It's quite possible that certain G series 4-piston calipers will also bolt up with the same spacers with this F10 374mm rotor or the alternative F01/Alpina 374mm rotor with smaller hat as some F10 guys have done it, but probably have to grind the inside radius of the brake pads and run wheel spacers.
I didn't want to deal with that and actually wanted a single-piston caliper.

Nice find! I think These are also the us spec F01 750i brakes. Realoem shows the same part #s for the F10 550 and F01 750 374x36mm rotors (left - 34116785675 right - 34116785676) and corresponding caliper with the carrier that has the 929 stamped on it (caliper carrier part # 34116786829)
Few questions if you don’t mind…..How much dust shield trimming was required? Were you able to reuse stock brake lines and How does the pedal feel and braking power ? My brakes are due soon and I may go with this.
Thanks
