The locating pins and rotor hold down screw are in the wrong places.

There's a thread on the m5board where a guy in Russia took E60M5 rotors (re-drilled the locating pin hole and hold down screw holes) and Mercedes SLR calipers and mounted them up to an E34 M5. Looked like a good bit of custom work was involved to do it.

If you really need to see what that looks like...
