Fits Bmw 3 SERIES E 36 M3 (1992-1999)

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.

330 mm

The E36 M3’s rear axle has always been the half of the car that demands respect. Trail the brakes into a quick corner and the multi-link rear steps light, and on a hot circuit the standard rear discs run out of thermal headroom long before the fronts do. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Bmw 3 Series E 36 M3 (1992-1999) targets exactly that weakness, giving the back axle the capacity it never had from the factory.

This is a rear-specific upgrade for owners running their E36 M3 hard on track and fast road. Supplied as a left-and-right pair, its two-piece floating discs shed rotating and unsprung mass while the larger swept area holds temperature down, so the rear stays settled when you are managing the car on the brakes rather than fighting it.

What this brake kit does for your 1992-1999 Bmw 3 Series E 36 M3

On a chassis this sensitive to weight transfer, rear braking stability is what lets you commit to a corner. The hollow-vane rotor cuts mass at each rear hub, which sharpens turn-in and reduces the gyroscopic inertia working against the rear axle. The added thermal capacity keeps the pedal firm through repeat heavy stops, so the rear bias does not wander as the discs heat. Pad compound is your call: Street for quiet, low-dust road use, Sport for spirited fast-road driving, and Racing for sustained circuit sessions where the rears take a real beating. The outcome is a back end you can lean on instead of tiptoe around.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The kit centres on two-piece floating discs whose hollow-vane rotors remove material to drop weight without losing swept area. Less rotating mass at the rear improves how quickly the suspension reacts and how cleanly the brakes shed heat. Because it is a rear-axle kit supplied as a pair, it pairs naturally with a matching front setup or complements a car already running uprated fronts. Three pad compounds span the use cases, from Street duty through Sport to a full Racing compound for track work. Disc faces can be drilled or slotted at the same price. Calipers are offered painted in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone and premium polished-forged or candy finishes, so the hardware behind the wheel matches the look you want, and a Hollow Racing caliper upgrade rated to 1000C is on hand for committed competition use. Each component is sized to the E36 M3’s rear hub geometry rather than adapted from a generic part.

Fitment for the Bmw 3 Series E 36 M3 (1992-1999)

This rear big brake kit is built specifically for the Bmw 3 Series E 36 M3 across the full 1992-1999 production run, mounting as a left-and-right pair. It fits the rear axle only and is designed around the M3’s hub and upright dimensions. Confirm your exact build year 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 330–356mm (rear). 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.
