Anyone know?.....and if possible supply a part number
Thanks in advance

From what I believe, the BMW compatible calipers are for the 190 (and V8) fronts (your 330 in your profile may actually be the same as the 190).

For the 'standard' calipers I do not believe them to have a BMW equivalent. Speak to one of the traders on here for used ones, I would consider refurbishing them (do both) though, with a seal kit from a company like BrakesInt.

You should be able to get new or refurbished ones relatively cheaply too - again I would consider doing both (perhaps just refurbishing the other side) for the sake of balance.
