I got Mazda rx7 brakes fitted to my e30 with golf g60 discs. Work well but you will need spacers as the 15 inch wheels I use are Motorsport type with more caliper clearance.
Look them up on here

There are no direct bolt-on solutions from BMW, but there are mixtures of components you can get to improve the braking.
