Size on the Alpina b6 brakes?

Post by Jannorway »

Hello!

Anyone here that can tell me for sure what the size of the alpina b6 brakes are? I mean they are the same as the 323i,only drilled. But I should have know this for sure,and if someone here has som paper or files to proof the alpina upgrades I would be very happy..:)

Next best is if anyone could tell me where to get som documentation on my subject.

I have sent a mail to Alpina,but havent got an answer yet,but are still hoping.

Regards Jan

I'm almost sure that de Alpina B6 shared the same brakingsystem as the 323i... Only Hartge had some modifications (volvo Calipers and larger discs)
I took the corner at high speed, came in the ditch, drove straight through a garden, flipped over 4 times and then I lost control of my steering-wheel!

The biggest hartge with 240 hp had 271mm rotors and girling caliper i Think.

brakes on TopCats B6 measure 255mm diameter, 22mm thick. EBC part number D076.

seem to be the same as a 323i, with an ATE caliper.
