Why do they need upgrading? The stock brakes on the 320D are fit for purpose.

I'd only consider upgrading if you have made performance hardware upgrades and or remapped ECU that increases BHP.

If you are referring to bigger brakes, I don't think there's much you can do in terms of a direct replacement, without changing discs and callipers. 335D uses bigger discs and callipers I believe.

If you just mean using performance parts (same size) there are loads of options and most are reviewed already.

Before I got my BMW performance 6 pots I had 335 brakes on the front of mine, you need calipers, carriers, discs, pads and it's a straight bolt on. It made a big difference to the braking power

Ive a chance of a set from a z4 but might be better waiting for a 335 set
