Try Buybakes.com. I found them to be super helpful in researching sizes that would work for my alpina B7. There were no ceramic brake pads listed but they looked up sizes to find pads from other vehicles with same specs. Maybe they can figure this out for the rotors you want.

I got the Bimmerlink app to connect to the car with the Mx+ adapter. I was able to put the rear parking brake in service mode. I am tackling the rear brakes today and will post pictures.

Make sure you get a reputable make and not some stock discs that are drilled after.

Otherwise you could end up with cracked discs.

Ok....brake job complete. I can confirm that these EBC Redstuff Ceramic Pads do fit the Alpina B7.

I'm selling the OEM pads in classified.

Front (brembo) have 9mm of 11mm (new)

Rear (BMW) have 10mm of 11mm

Placed an order for EBC red stuff. Will report back after few driven miles.
Hope they're good.

Hello, I wanted to know what your experience been with the EBC redstuff brake pads.

If the stopping power the same as original pads, better or worse?

How's the dust issue?

Do you still get dust or is it dramatically reduced?

Any noise when they're cold?

[Wjjklj]

Better than OEM stopping power. Reduced dust.....yes. Still puts out dust though. Was hoping the dust was as good as Akebono pads but unfortunately it's not. Zero noise.

After 1100 miles No issues so far with EBC . Brake distance is now decreased and the dust is also minimal. Happy customer here.

www.g-locbrakes.com has brake pads and can also make custom pads. We get all our stuff for our race cars AND street cars there. The pads are fantastic. Ask for Danny when you call.

I decided the EBC Redstuff brake pads looked like a solution but they are not shown as working for the B7. With some help on brake pad specs and sizing from BuyBrakes.com, we have decided that the M760 Front pads should work and the 750 rear pads should work. I have these ordered now and will report back. They are supposed to reduce dust by 80% and stopping distance by 20%. Here are the part numbers I went with. They were $231 for both sets which I didn't think was bad.

Front - DP32304C

Rear - DP32089C

Did your rear's work? I ordered DP32089C and they are not right sizes for the 2020 B7 I have. Did you run into issues? You post you did not but you can see the B7 rear pads are not the same DP32089C..

Figured it out, the B7 I have, 2019 production, uses the DP32320C on the rears. No idea why you use something different. What year is your B7 and product month/year? I am a 08/19 and they did change the rear brake caliper in 03/20, so I'll guess you are after that?

Let me know, it would be good for other folks to know this..

My B7 was a 2017 but I have sold it.
