Great Thread and very useful. I am going with what is being recommenced by .BMW. and Addy27, BUT what most people doing for the rear brakes upgrade? the 535D rear brakes are not all that good to begin with and I generally like to have a balanced braking front to rear. If front caliper biting force is increasing so should the back.

I do understand that the front brakes do most of the work but I like balanced approach.

Looks great, complements the Alpina wheels!

So these are the front brakes from F01 760i/Alpina B7?

The rotors are 374x36, the same diameter as the Euro spec 550i/M550d brakes I used, but the size of the hat is reduced to allow calipers with larger brake pads.

I also noticed that the caliper carrier is the same as on my setup.

I add all part numbers on the same way as in my post on the first page in this thread for future readers:

F01 7 Series 760i and Alpina B7 2-piece directional 374x36 rotors.
L: partnr. 34 11 6 789 543
R: partnr. 34 11 6 789 544
Caliper housing.
L: partnr. 34 11 6 786 827
R: partnr. 34 11 6 786 828
Caliper carrier.
Partnr. 34 11 6 786 829
Brake pads.
Partnr. 34 11 6 794 464

Correct me if I'm wrong addy27.
