You are right, this is definitely not a trivial exercise.
The other thing to look at is if the caliper displaces the same amount of fluid as the stock caliper. If you put a larger caliper on that needs more/less brake fluid, it changes the brake bias, throws off the ABS and overall isn't very good. So it has to be a E90 M3-specific caliper used - not a off the shelf part.
