Coding DSC for 395mm X3M brakes
I want to upgrade my G20 348/345mm M sport brakes to 395/370mm X3M brakes. I understood that coding the DSC to Alpina brakes is required to update the brake bias of the vehicle safely.
I'm looking for a manual or a how to for coding the DSC from M-sport brakes to Alpina brakes (=same size as X3M). Does someone know how to do this or know where I can find a clear description for this process? |

These should be the relevant parameters for the Alpina break in 395mm.
Left M sport brake -> Right Alpina 395mm brake Quote:

thanks for the info, this is only valid for the front brakes I assume?
I'm also planning to upgrade the rear brakes from 345 to 370 mm discs and calipers or is this not necessary as the brake caliper is equal in size? |

The calculation wasn´t based on a Alpina VIN so it may not be complete.
If someone has a european B3 VIN, i could try to directly calculate with Alpina values.

Seems like it doesn´t work with Alpina VINs.
Can´t create an VO and the usual sites can´t list the data.

Did you succeed coding and does someone know if coding the Alpina brakes is possible with Bimmer Utility? |
