Fits Bmw 6 SERIES F 12 (2WD/ 4WD) (2011-2017)

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.

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 6 SERIES F 12 (2WD/ 4WD) (2011-2017) — 356 mm
356 mm

Approaching 1,900kg in 650i Cabriolet form, the F12 sits meaningfully heavier than its F13 coupé sibling. The soft-top body structure adds mass to an already substantial grand tourer, and that weight concentrates braking load on the front axle during any serious stop. The N63 V8 builds speed rapidly between braking points, and on a car this heavy the gap between a comfortable cruise and approaching a corner faster than the standard brakes want to manage narrows sooner than most drivers expect.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit fits both rear-wheel-drive and xDrive variants of the F12 across the full 2011-2017 production run. Supplied as a matched pair of front calipers and discs, it offers three pad compounds and a caliper finish menu that works with or against the factory wheel design, as the owner prefers.

What this brake kit does for your 2011-2017 Bmw 6 SERIES F 12 (2WD/ 4WD)

The F12’s front axle carries a disproportionate braking load, partly because the convertible body’s weight penalty over the F13 coupé is real and measurable, partly because the xDrive system shifts yet more load forwards under trail-braking in four-wheel-drive variants. The larger two-piece floating disc pushes the thermal threshold at which fade becomes apparent further out, which on a car that sustains high speeds with this little drama makes a tangible difference to how the nose behaves on the approach to a corner.

Street is the quiet, low-dust compound that sharpens road-going bite over the factory setup. Sport handles harder fast-road use with a higher heat range. Racing is rated for the sustained heat cycles circuit driving puts through the front brakes. 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 F12’s factory alloys.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The two-piece floating disc carries a hollow-vane rotor that reduces unsprung rotating mass at each front corner while maintaining the structural integrity needed for high-load, repeated stops. On a car with the F12’s kerb weight, reducing front axle inertia has effects beyond braking, with turn-in response and front-end compliance both benefiting. Braided lines come as part of the package for a firm pedal under heat. 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, and centre bell upgrades are available two-tone in five anodized colours or in titanium. The kit is sized for the F12’s front hub geometry across all engine derivatives and both drivetrains, with compound and colour selected when you order.

Fitment for the Bmw 6 SERIES F 12 (2WD/ 4WD) (2011-2017)

This kit is built for the BMW 6 Series F12 cabriolet from 2011 to 2017, covering both rear-wheel-drive and xDrive variants. It addresses the front axle across all engine derivatives within the F12 range. Confirm your specific wheel diameter before ordering, as factory wheel sizes across the F12 range vary, and caliper clearance should be checked against your car’s current spec before committing.

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.
