Fits Bmw 3 SERIES E 90 335 (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 90 335 (2006-2011) — 330 mm
330 mm

For an E90 335 running hard, whether the N54 or N55 petrol or the M57 diesel’s low-end wave of torque, the XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses the fade window that stock hardware hits before a long circuit session or a sustained motorway sprint is done. The E90’s near-50:50 weight distribution keeps the front axle close to its braking limit under hard deceleration, and the factory setup reflects that balance rather than overbuilding for repeated high-heat use.

This is a single front-axle kit, a matched pair of calipers and two-piece floating discs. Three pad compounds, chosen when you order, allow configuration to match the intensity of the car’s actual use. The 335 was never a factory track tool, but it is absolutely capable of being run as one, and the braking hardware needs to match that capability.

What this brake kit does for your 2006-2011 Bmw 3 Series E 90 335

The E90 335 carries real pace for a saloon, enough that hard braking from motorway speeds or the entry to a long circuit straight demands consistent performance from the front discs and pads across multiple stops. The hollow-vane disc improves heat dissipation across repeated stops, holding pedal feel more consistently through a session rather than allowing it to soften as standard parts near their thermal ceiling. The two-piece floating ring grows under heat without coning and trims rotating and unsprung mass, while braided lines firm the pedal. The three-compound pad system is the most useful element of the spec sheet: Street is the quiet, low-dust road default, Sport extends the operating range for enthusiastic fast-road and track-day use, and Racing shifts the temperature window upward for circuit environments where pads need to come up to operating temperature and stay there. Caliper colour, included in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost with a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, is visible through open-spoke wheels and set when you order.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The two-piece floating disc channels airflow more effectively through the rotor body than a solid alternative, drawing heat away from the friction surface under sustained load. The caliper runs a hollow body as standard, keeping reciprocating weight low; for dedicated circuit use a Hollow Racing upgrade drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. XYZ Racing build this kit for the front axle of cars seeing genuine performance use, and the three-tier pad compound range is central to that: Street prioritises low dust, quiet running and longevity for road miles, Sport raises the performance ceiling for owners who run occasional track days without committing to full race consumables, and Racing is calibrated for circuit operating temperatures where road pads fade quickly and wear unevenly. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and caliper finishes run from the included painted colours through premium polished-forged and candy options to two-tone or titanium centre bells, all selectable at checkout.

Fitment for the Bmw 3 Series E 90 335 (2006-2011)

This kit is specified for the BMW 3 Series E90 saloon in 335 trim, covering the 2006 to 2011 production run. The E90 ran the 335 line-up across both petrol (N54/N55 inline-six) and diesel (M57 straight-six) variants during this period. If the front brake assembly has been modified previously, verify caliper bracket dimensions and hub face compatibility against the kit specification before ordering.

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.
