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

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.

No I haven't coded them yet, still need to install the brakes.
Did you succeed coding and does someone know if coding the Alpina brakes is possible with Bimmer Utility?
