Pic request - F95/96 X5M rear brake caliper attachment

I'm looking at the front X5M BBK I'm retro-fitting onto my X5M50i.... and realizing that perhaps I should have bought the rears as well.

The calipers are equally "unimpressive" on both cars, but the X5M rotors are 35mm larger, and drilled.

Long story short, when I bought the front BBK, I didn't realize that there were special adapters on an X5M that hold the caliper to the hub assembly. I ended up having to source the adapter brackets, as well as the bolts.... after the fact.

QUESTION:

Do the REAR X5/6M calipers bolt directly to the hub..... or is there some sort of adapter used on the rear as well..... that pushes the calipers further out to accommodate for larger rotors?

Has anyone done their rear brake pads recently, snapped a pic.... or is willing to crawl under their car and shoot a pic of how the rear calipers attach to the hub??

I'd be truly appreciative.

Actually, that is perfect. The calipers DO bolt directly to the hub. Thank you. It also answers my question:

Blue X5M rear calipers ARE different than blue G05 sport calipers.

In order to retrofit larger F95 X5M rotors, I'll have to get F95 specific calipers as well. I thought "maybe" I could re-use my G05 calipers, with an extension bracket, and a set of X5M rotors..... but that's not the case.

I'll need to buy calipers and rotors to do a full conversion.

At least I know now. Thanks!!!
