You shouldn’t have any trouble, it’s a standard 320d/325d set up. Problem is there are two different disc diameters, yours should be the 330x24 size discs (not the 312x24) part number 34116854999. Pads are again standard 320d/325d 34116799166 superseded by 34116771868 . Don’t forget the wear sensor too they commonly fail, again stock BMW but that one is a little harder to find the right one, they changed it in 03/2010, so could be one of two.

It’s usually the way you are asking; no one will have the D3 Biturbo brake parts, but everyone will have the E90 320d/225d parts….same thing.

Euro Car Parts or GSF Car Parts should have them, go for a quality make e.g. Pagid are OEM.

Have you seen the parts catalogue download on here for the D3 Biturbo, it’s all here:

Then check the part numbers on realoem to see if they are superseded.

It’s one of the advantages of the E9X Alpinas, the ancillary parts are mainly from an uprated BMW bin and at present not expensive.

For clarity, I think John means standard 325d/330d/330i discs and pads of diameter 330mm, thickness 24mm for the front of the E9x D3 Biturbo. Rears similarly are taken from E9x 325d/330d/330i models of the same build era. The standard E9x 320d brakes are smaller and won't fit the calipers. The details in the Alpina catalogues are correct, of course.

I used GSF car parts 'Drivetec' brand for a full disc and pad swap out last year, and they were faultless at a very reasonable cost.

The 330x24 mm disc is found on later 320d’s too as standard, you just need to check the part number and size is correct:
