I found this thread doing a Google search of the caliper part # 19-339.

I saw this picture and it is exactly like what it looks like on my 240D. thought it came out of my camera.

You can see the scrape mark in the rust of the hat part of the Rotor.
That is the same gold Caliper they sold me.
I found this in the following thread.

Wrong Caliper Binding on Rotor Hub ATE 123 1980

You should not have to grind off any metal to modify the Caliper to fit.
It should fit right out of the box.
