Fits Bmw 3 SERIES E 91 330 (OE160) (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.

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 Rear Brake Kit — Bmw 3 SERIES E 91 330 (OE160) (2006-2011) — 330 mm
330 mm

The E91 Touring carries its mass differently from the saloon and coupe that share its platform. Load the boot, put a few hundred kilos over the rear axle, and the factory rear discs start to show their limits on a long descent or a run of repeated hard stops. This XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the BMW 3 Series E91 330 (2006-2011) targets exactly that shortfall, handing the rear axle the thermal headroom the standard setup runs out of when you actually lean on it.

On a rear-driven estate that already puts useful weight aft, a stronger rear brake is not cosmetic. It steadies the car’s balance under braking, gives the rear pads a fighting chance against fade, and keeps pedal feel honest when the OE160 rears would otherwise be cooking. This is a focused rear-axle upgrade, a pair of rear calipers and a pair of two-piece floating discs, for owners who use the back of the car as well as the front.

What this brake kit does for your 2006-2011 BMW 3 Series E91 330

The first thing you feel is a firmer, more consistent pedal once the brakes are warm. Larger, better-cooled rear discs resist the heat soak that makes the standard E91 330 setup go long and spongy after several stops, so braking distances stay repeatable on a B-road blast or a track-day session. Three pad compounds let you match bite and temperature window to how the car is used: Street for quiet, low-dust daily driving, Sport for fast-road work with the occasional track day, and Racing for hard circuit use. The result is a rear axle that supports the front under load rather than fading out of the equation, with cleaner brake balance and more confidence trail braking into a corner.

About the rear brake kit

This is a bolt-on rear-axle brake upgrade built around larger two-piece floating discs and a fixed caliper to replace the sliding OE arrangement. The floating ring runs on the alloy bell and stays flat as it heats, resisting the warping a fixed solid rotor suffers under sustained load, while the hollow-vane disc face trims rotating and unsprung mass. The caliper is offered in a full range of finishes, with painted Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black included at no cost and premium polished-forged, candy and Custom Pantone options alongside. Pad selection spans Street, Sport and Racing compounds, covering road durability through to a high-temperature track pad. Disc faces come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be upgraded to two-tone anodized or titanium. The emphasis is on consistent heat management and a stiffer caliper body, the two things that most affect how a rear brake holds up once it has been worked hard.

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.
