Fits Bmw 7 SERIES E 65 740 (2002-2008)

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 7 SERIES E 65 740 (2002-2008) — 356 mm
356 mm

The E65 740 carries the N62 4.0-litre V8, an engine smooth enough that motorway progress builds deceptively fast, often without the driver noticing, and around 1,800 kilograms of kerb weight that all that momentum must push through the front brakes. The OE setup handles the brief it was designed for: sedate urban deceleration and the occasional firm stop. Repeated hard stops from higher speeds are a different matter. This XYZ Racing front brake kit is the front-axle upgrade that changes that dynamic for 740 owners who drive the car as its powertrain deserves. It fits as a matched pair of front calipers and discs.

The E65 7 Series, despite its luxury brief, loads the front axle heavily under hard braking. Adding heat-tolerant hardware here has proportionally more impact than on a lighter or more rear-biased platform.

What this brake kit does for your 2002-2008 Bmw 7 SERIES E 65 740

The two-piece floating disc and its hollow-vane rotor manage the thermal demand the standard setup cannot sustain under hard use. Where OE rotors on a 740 begin to show temperature-related fade after a sequence of stops from 70 mph or more, the hollow-vane design dissipates heat between applications and holds consistent bite. Reduced rotating mass keeps the brake balance steady.

Three pad compounds match the system to actual use. Street is the quiet, low-dust compound with progressive, cold-start-ready bite for year-round UK driving. Sport raises the heat range for committed fast-road work. Racing is for owners who use their 740 on circuit or in timed events where temperatures climb consistently. 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, for a finish that reads as intentional behind the E65’s alloy spokes.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The two-piece floating disc removes unnecessary mass from its structure without reducing the swept area or disc thickness needed to handle the braking demands of a large luxury saloon. Reduced rotating mass has a tangible effect on steering feel and wheel compliance beyond simple stopping distances. Braided lines come as part of the package. 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 front axle set spans the full compound range, making this kit a single solution for a 740 used on road or circuit, with compound and colour selected when you order.

Fitment for the Bmw 7 SERIES E 65 740 (2002-2008)

Specified for the BMW 7 Series E65 chassis in 740 trim, covering the complete 2002 to 2008 production run. The E65 740 covers both standard and long-wheelbase body configurations on this platform. Confirm wheel offset and inner barrel clearance before fitting, particularly if aftermarket alloys are already in place.

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.
