Hi mate, do you mean bigger or better brakes mate? How much are you looking to spend?
The cheapest brake upgrade would be to upgrade to a standard 325i setup
(vented fronts, and disc rears) I did this to my 318i and it made a nice improvement, all in all the s/h bits you need will probably cost you about Ԛ£100-Ԛ£150.

No idea of sizes/if they fit the 318i, but ATE power discs are great, you'll want to stick some decent pads on too, and some decent brake fluid in there to stop brake fade etc.
Been discussed plenty of times before the whole pad/fluid thing - do a search

I don't think it will fit. 318i calipers are smaller than 325i. I put 325i calipers on my 318i just so i could have 325i vented discs.
