How to identify part numbers?

[nastypoker]

I am a recent new owner of a 2016 D3 and looking to do maintenance myself.

I previously owned a BMW where I could plug the VIN into a decoder and get parts lists and diagrams but my Alpina VIN doesn't seem to work in the decoders.

I am currently looking for brake pads and discs all round but would like to know if there is a website with full exploded diagrams of this car anywhere?

Simple answer is there isn't. The Alpina Parts Manuals are downloadable from this website (look for downloads) and the rule of thumb is that if the part isn't listed in the Alpina Catalogue, then it's not been changed from the base vehicle (which is listed in the front of the catalogue) - use the BMW VIN and search realoem or other source for the part numbers.

Edit - just spotted that you've an F-series D3 - the parts catalogue isn't here but if you search the forum, you may find the question has been asked before.

Hope that helps,

I couldn't find the part details on this forum or elsewhere online but I have managed to get the part numbers from a BMW dealer who said the front pads are on a 6-8 week lead time as they appear to be Alpina specific. £250 for a set of front brake pads is a bit steep!

Front pads B91.47.3.411.185
Rear pads B34.21.6.887.576
Front discs B34.10.6.797.606
Rear discs B34.20.6.894.382

I bet they are used somewhere else but with a different number. When I get them out, I will try and identify them further.

Mate,
Have you identified an equivalent set of front pads to the B91.47.3.411.185 Alpina set?
The others which are all.BMW match my B4, fyi.
I've recently purchased a set of Febi-Bilstein discs for the car which are drilled, cut and rust proofed about the rims.
Fyi, the fronts are Febi-Bilstein 105720, product code PM1649421 a 370mm diameter disc which the BMW equivalent is 34.10.6.696.603. Plains are 34.10.6.797.606. The rears are Febi-Bilstein product code 8903124rmp, diameter 345mm and the BMW equivalent is 34.20.6.894.382 as you said. The discs are fitted to a.BMW 435d, f32 yrs 13/20.
Please update me as to an alternate set of front pads if you have found any? Looking at the calipher i am currently looking at M2 pads? Maybe the same? Sytner didn't know, they just quoted Alpina only at £250 + VAT!
Regards,
Carl

The ALPINA pads for F3x B3/B4 are made by Pagid.

However, a common alternaive is to use F80 M3 pads; refer to this discussion .
