Fits Bmw 3 SERIES E 90 325 (2006-2011)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Bmw 3 SERIES E 90 325 (2006-2011) — 330 mm
330 mm

The E90 325’s N52 straight-six encourages you to use every rev, then demands something serious when you arrive at the braking zone. On road, the factory stoppers are adequate. Push the car into back-to-back track sessions or run it hard on a B-road descent and that margin erodes quickly. Brake fade on the E90 is front-axle fade; that is where the load concentrates.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the BMW 3 Series E90 325 addresses the problem at its source. It is a single front-axle kit, a matched pair of calipers and two-piece floating discs. Three pad compounds, chosen when you order, mean the same kit can be configured for a ten-month daily driver with occasional circuit work or for a car that rarely leaves the paddock.

What this brake kit does for your 2006-2011 BMW 3 Series E90 325

The two-piece floating disc reduces rotating and unsprung mass at the front axle, which matters both for thermal recovery between hard stops and for the sharp front-end response the E90 platform is known for. The hollow-vane disc draws cooling air through the rotor body, and the floating ring grows under heat without coning. With the 325’s near 50:50 weight distribution, front brake load stays predictable under trail-braking, so the upgrade delivers consistent feel rather than raw peak stopping power alone. Selecting Racing sharpens initial bite for circuit heat without the unpredictable grab that can unsettle the rear under heavy braking; Street is the quiet, low-dust road default and Sport bridges the two with more bite and heat range. Braided lines firm the pedal further. Calipers are included in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, visible through the standard E90 alloy spokes in a way the OEM grey caliper was never intended to be.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The kit targets the rotating assembly, removing mass from the components that work hardest under a hard stop and that have the greatest effect on unsprung weight at the front axle. The caliper runs a hollow body as standard, keeping reciprocating weight low; for sustained circuit duty a Hollow Racing upgrade drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. XYZ Racing positions this kit for the front of the E90 325, where braking load is concentrated. Pad compound spans three grades: Street for everyday road use, Sport for mixed use including occasional track days, and Racing for sustained circuit duty. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price. Caliper colour, from the included painted finishes through premium polished-forged and candy options to two-tone or titanium centre bells, gives owners control over how the kit presents behind the E90’s standard alloy wheel design.

Fitment for the BMW 3 Series E90 325 (2006-2011)

This kit is confirmed for the BMW 3 Series E90 saloon in 325 specification, covering the 2006 to 2011 production run. The E90 platform spans several engine and trim variants across those years; verify your chassis code reads E90 and the engine designation is the 325 before ordering. Year, body style and engine code are the critical matching fields.

Choosing your spec

Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.

Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing

Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.

Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.

Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing

Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.

Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 286–380mm (front). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish

Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).

Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.

Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).

Centre bells

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
