Questions about M Performance Brakes

I've got a 2017 430i convertible with base brakes (312/300 rotors) that I purchased after it was returned from a lease. The rear rotors have been overheated at some point in their life. I'm considering upgrading to the M Performance brakes. My research has generated a few questions:
  1. I have the 18" staggered wheels. Will the performance brakes fit inside them? Having just installed new tires, I'm not interesting in upgrading to 19" wheels at this time.
  2. The kits all have red/orange/yellow calipers, but I'd prefer blue. Is there a car that had the 370/345 rotors?
  3. I've done some ebay searches, but none of the vendors list the rotor diameter with their so-called M Sport or M Performance calipers or sets. How can I determine if these are the right calipers for the 370/345 conversion?
Thanks in advance.
