There are several Big Brake kits possible for your car. If you are not sure what you have, take some photos and post them here. People will know what have.

 

This article describes the most common Big Brake upgrade. Sorry, no photos

Looks like you have e21 Rotors and Volvo Calipers

Rotors can be obtained from https://bit.ly/3pG0Ouh or https://bit.ly/38MjDoPLook for front Vented Rotors

 

Calipers can be found at Advance Auto Left: https://bit.ly/3pNXw8r Right: https://bit.ly/2KQQzV9

Or Parts Geek at  https://bit.ly/34TI3vu Look for Front Girling calipers fro Vented rotors

Mine are similar to OP.  Mine are on a 73 2002 with tii struts and tii front caliper is my understanding.

Let me know if that doesn't look like a tii caliper.

No idea what the rotor is from. Is vented and is Balo brand.   Ideas ?

Will read the above article.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains.

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
