The range rover 6 piston brembo requires the the mounting insert to be removed from the caliper and then place a blank one in its place. Once in place you drill the blank insert to the dimensions of the BMW X5 caliper hub mount. Use a set of caliper bolts 12mm longer than the original and then mount up. I a cannot take credit for the using the rover calipers that credit goes to another board member" ilias051266" He did this upgrade first.

Do I have to drill them centric or excentric?

Beuasenif it‘s centric I could just bore a bigger bore and do not need new inserts

I hate to beat a dead horse but I'm thinking of adding bigger front calipers to my 4.6is and found this informative thread. Will the RANGE ROVER SPORT (2006-2009) Brembo calipers fit and is this a worthwhile upgrade? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

They will not, without major modification that would make them not worth it. There is a reason OP took a different route... i will leave it at that.

E70-F15/85 are bolt on for front calipers to E53 last i recall. There are plenty of options that will actually bolt on.
