Changing Calipers on 428ix GC

So i've been looking at caliper options for my 428ix F36. I just can't stand the way the stock ones look, but I noticed the 435ix F36 stock calipers resembles the M Sport performance ones. I don't really want to shell out that much for the whole system, thinking about ordering the OEM 435ix F36 stock calipers and powder coating/painting them. Please let me know if this is a viable option, will there be any issues? I'm quite new to BMW and Mods so any input/opinions will help greatly, thank you!

Your links don't work.

You can likely just swap in the larger front brembo calipers and rear bosch clipers and rotors from a 435i. I can't really offer any detail on 4er models though, you'll have to look up all the part numbers to confirm cross-fitment. Realoem.com is a site I use for that.

Shoot, there's a 335i set up for sale in the classifieds right now. If you want the painted look just see the pic in my photo, that is just high temp paint, came out great and no need to send out for powder coating.

If you're gonna pay someone to do all the labor get ready to shell out some coin. Hopefully you're handy with a wrench and a brake bleeder

Thank you for the info! I will doing the work myself, so hopefully that will help with costs. Can't be good with cars if you don't start learning. I've attached the links again, hopefully they work.
