I think that the rotors will work, but I'm not sure if the carriers are the same (hub thickness) or not.

The standard BMW discs don't separate into carrier and disc. The non-LS disc is deeper by maybe an inch, so wouldn't work on an LS.

It wouldn't be hard to drill out the rivets and replace them, with short bolts if necessary - with many of the aftermarket rotors that fit the R65 application, that is what one does anyhow to re-use the carrier, assuming it is in good condition.
