Current options to adopt ceramic brakes on M240i xdrive?

I analized the ceramic brakes on the old M2 CS and looks like the wheels are a very different size than the current G42. Do anyone know if they would be compatible?
Also, current M4 carbon ceramic brakes have different wheels 19'/20' instead of 19'/19'. So, my guess, it's currently impossible to retrofit original bmw ceramic brakes for the G42 M240i xdrive. I wish someone could prove me wrong.
Otherwise, do you guys know if there is any reliable and, lighter actually, option for carbon ceramic brakes on this vehicle? Thank you

Is this for driving around on the street, or do you do frequent track events?

Carbon ceramic brakes can actually be worse than regular ones for street driving. They need to heat up to feel right. This feels like a fantastic way to throw loads of money away.
