Bigger brakes for E90 320D with 17" wheels?
I'm thinking I should rebuild my callipers but was wondering if I could fit bigger brakes for maybe stronger feeling brakes. Any suggestions? What would be an upgrade?

I always thought all 330d had bigger brakes as you could never run 16 inch alloys on them due to the bigger brakes even on E46's.
I have a 325d which is 2009 and LCI it has the 330d brakes which I think are around 30mm bigger in diameter than the 320d. |

Maybe try some ceramic pads instead

That's probably what I will do. Yellowstuff pads with OEM discs. Like you said, kinda pointless getting big brakes on a 320d.

The 330d either uses 330mm (most common) or 348mm front discs, the 320d ones are smaller, either 300mm or 312mm depending on the age of the car. My current 330d is a late 2010 / 60 plate car and has 330mm fronts, my old 330d was a 2006 / 56 plate and also had 330mm fronts.

I would be very surprised if they were 330mm

My 2006 330d came to me with 17” wheels and had 348mm brakes. My sons lci 330d had 336mm (is it?) anyway, the smaller ones so it seems very random which brakes came with which 330d.

It's definitely random and not many came with 348mm ones, most are 330mm, still can't work out why some got bigger brakes!

True, I run 17” as my winters on my 335i and my wife’s 328i with 335i brake retrofit.
