Caliper render for this kit:
The F10 535’s combination of turbocharged straight-six torque and a kerb weight nudging 1,700kg creates a specific thermal challenge at the front axle. The standard braking setup handles routine duties gracefully enough, but carry that mass into repeated hard stops, on a fast B-road or a track day, and fade becomes something you manage rather than ignore.
A big brake kit shifts those parameters. More swept area, greater thermal mass, and a choice of pad compounds matched to actual conditions move the front end’s deceleration capability into a different bracket entirely. This XYZ Racing kit fits as a matched pair of front calipers and discs.
What this brake kit does for your 2010-2016 Bmw 5 SERIES F 10 535
The two-piece floating disc carries a hollow-vane rotor that improves airflow through the disc face, reducing heat soak across the system and extending the working window before fade sets in. On an F10 this matters more than on a lighter car: every stop carries the full inertia of a near-1,700kg saloon, and the front axle absorbs the majority of that load. Reduced rotating mass also keeps the steering honest and the brake balance steady under hard deceleration.
Three pad compounds give a direct choice. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for daily bite characteristics. Sport raises bite and heat range for committed fast-road driving with occasional track days. Racing is the harder, higher-temperature compound for sustained circuit work. Caliper colours start with the no-cost painted options of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black. A Custom Color in any Pantone is £150, with premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver, or candy Teal, Blue, Red, and Orange, sitting cleanly behind the F10’s multi-spoke alloys.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The kit uses a hollow-vane rotor to draw air through the disc and reduce the heat accumulation that causes progressive fade. The two-piece floating disc is sized for front fitment on performance executive machinery where mass and output need more braking reserve than the standard equipment provides. The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, braided lines are part of the package, and centre bell upgrades are available two-tone in five anodized colours or in titanium. The three compounds span everyday road use through to circuit racing on the same installation.
Fitment for the Bmw 5 SERIES F 10 535 (2010-2016)
This kit is confirmed for the BMW 5 Series F10 535, covering the full 2010 to 2016 production run. That span includes both the pre-LCI build and the LCI-revised cars from 2013, across rear-wheel-drive and xDrive variants of the saloon.

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.
