Anyone here used AP calipers on the e85?

Any good?

Looking at costs, how do i know which will fit my Alpina?

Firstly speak to the supplier

But its not so much the calliper but the brackets you need to fit them and spacing required if any.
Also the size of your discs

As for them being any good, AP are probably one of the best brake products on the market and hold their value if you ever resell them.
Not cheap but worth every penny
 
i do.. they are incredible when hot.. set of track pagids pads weight in at 700 quid nearly :( :( :( They aren't they best when they are cold, they cover the car in dust and you sound like a bus when you stop , in sub 10 deg C are pretty much useless, but as said before once warmed up I've never experienced braking like it,absolutely comparable to a PCCB setup in terms of feel and brake retardation. They were lighter on each corner than stock despite the huge size increase.

 
I have them on my car, with Performance Friction discs, and Pagid pads - I run RS29 front and RS4-2 rears, as I find the rear is over-braked with 29s all round; couple of pics:

I don't have any particular noise issues and though I think the brakes are certainly very good, they aren't the best I've experienced, mainly as I find the whole system somewhat over-servo'd. Perhaps also fair to say I have never used the standard brakes, as my car had the APs fitted when I bought it.

Edited to add, the PF discs are front only, rears are OE.
