F80 brake caliper question?

Are they same calipers across F30/M235i and so forth? I read the only difference between them is the rotors but I don't care about that. Mainly wondering whether a set of blue Mperf calipers from an F30 or m235i (f30 as well?) would work on an F80?

Anyone know?

The blue calipers in the M3 are the same blue calipers in the F30/22.

I'm pretty sure the F2x only use the 340mm rotor up front with their blue "M-Sport" calipers (just like the -28/-30 F3x cars), therefore, the F2x ones won't work on F8x. Stick with F3x ones (that came with a 370mm rotor) from a -35/-40 car.

The 2017-2020 F22 240i uses the 370 mm front rotors. Recently swapped my M4 pads to our ‘18 240ix.

Thanks guys...easy way to tell which is which is on the back of the caliper its says 340 or 370/380 to denote what size rotor it uses.
