Bill,
The US CSi used the same front brakes as the stock 850i. There is often a misconception regarding this. However, the Euro CSi recieved a much larger 4 piston ATE caliper that has the ///M logo stamped into the front of it. In addition, the rotors were of the floating type (the hat is separated from the hub by slines). And the rotors also say ///m motorsport all around them. The cost of swapping out your front calipers for these is about 3K. It also includes new hub assemblies and backing plates. Also, if you have a 1991 850i there is some very tricky working of the ASC sensor rings that must be performed.

If you need any additional info please feel free to contact me off line.

Stephen
