E55 (W210) brakes on 320E (W124)?

Hello everybody. This is my first post, though I have been reading these forums for some months. I hope some help from someone who knows (a lot) more than me.
I have the opportunity to buy a second hand brake set from an E55 (W210) including both front and rear rotors and calipers. Even the master cylinder is available. Are they a direct 'bolt on' on my '93 320E (W124)?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and greetings from Spain.

I am not a mechanic, but I don't believe that will work. If your car was in the same chassis or closer in model years I would guess it "may" be doable. But I doubt anything swaps from W124 to W210. Just my guess. Good Luck.

i agree
it might be doable, if it is it will cost as much as a set of front brembos or all four if u get a cheaper performance aftermarket brake kit, and itll look better

greetings from LA
even though i dont like Fernando Alonso, kimi is better
ill fight u for it

Thankyou for your answers. I have done some search in other forums and it seems they won´t fit. It is a pity, as the price for those pieces was (is) very good, about 800$ including servo and master cylinder once converted from Euros.
If anyone is interested, the seller is ebay.de (Germany).
By the way, I also came across with someone selling a front brake kit from the SL65, brand new, with an starting price of 1500 Euros (about 1800$). And nobody is bidding!

Oh! About the Kimi vs. Alonso I couldn´t really tell who is better. Both are top drivers. Let´s see what happens next year.
