I'm not so sure 128i calipers will work. It says:

-2 rear calipers from:
BMW 325CI 2001-2006
BMW 325I 2001-2005
BMW 325XI 2001-2005
BMW 328CI 2000
BMW 328I 1999-2000
BMW Z4 2003-2008

I haven't put these on yet (not sure when I will have time), but I got the carriers from a 325XI at the local pick a part for $15. For calipers I went with E46 M3 because I was told they were apparently much more rigid, and because the pistons are a bit larger which should shift the bias more to the rear to balance out the M3 fronts. I may add in an adjustable proportioning valve so I can dial it in.
