Caliper render for this kit:

The E92 335i builds speed in a way few of its period rivals managed: the N54 (and later N55) twin-turbo straight-six pours torque in from low revs, and on a coupe this heavy the rear axle ends up working harder under braking than the standard hardware was ever sized for. This XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the Bmw 3 Series E 92 335 (OE160) targets the end of the car that goes soft first once you start linking corners on a circuit.
Built around two-piece floating discs whose hollow-vane casting cuts rotating and unsprung mass, the kit is aimed at owners who actually use their 2006-2011 335i hard rather than those chasing a cosmetic lift. It is a pair of rear calipers and a pair of rear discs that put braking balance back where it should be and give the pedal something solid to lean on when the original rear setup has heat-soaked and faded.
What this brake kit does for your 2006-2011 Bmw 3 SERIES E 92 335 (OE160)
The most immediate change is at the back of the car under repeat heavy stops, where the standard 335i rear discs lose bite. The lightweight disc construction lowers rotating mass, so the rear axle responds faster and sheds heat more readily across a session. With three pad compounds available, Street, Sport and Racing, you can match the rear bite to how you drive, from a daily-friendly low-dust setup to a compound that survives sustained track abuse. The net result is a more stable car on turn-in and under trail braking, because the rear is carrying its share of the load instead of washing out as it warms. For a torque-heavy chassis that carries real speed between braking zones, that recovered rear stability is what lets you commit to the next corner.
About the rear brake kit
This is a rear-axle big brake kit using two-piece floating discs, a construction that reduces rotating weight while keeping thermal capacity high, which is the combination a heavy turbocharged coupe needs out back. The floating ring expands on its alloy bell to stay flat under heat, and the hollow-vane disc face is available drilled or slotted at the same price. The kit covers the rear position only and is engineered to lift the 335i’s rear braking well beyond what the factory components offer once they get hot. Pad choice is yours: a quiet Street compound for road use, a Sport compound for fast-road and occasional track days, and a Racing compound for hard circuit work where fade resistance matters most. Calipers are offered in painted Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with premium polished-forged, candy and Custom Pantone finishes, so the look can be matched to the car or kept discreet behind the wheels. The caliper is hollow-cast as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use, and everything is specified to fit the E92 335 chassis rather than adapted from a generic part.

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.
