XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Bmw 3 SERIES F 31 TOURING (OE185) (2012-2018)

The F31 Touring carries noticeably more mass over its rear axle than the F30 saloon it shares a platform with. The longer roofline, extended load area and rear glass all sit aft of the back wheels. That weight has to be arrested, and the standard rear discs on a 2012-2018 3 Series begin to complain once you string together repeated heavy stops on a B-road descent or a track session. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit replaces them with a larger, vented two-piece setup built to take and shed heat.

This is a rear-axle kit, so it works alongside your front brakes to restore balance under load rather than acting on its own. Match the pad compound to how you actually drive, Street for road, Sport for spirited fast-road use, Racing for circuit work, and pick the caliper finish to suit the car.

What this brake kit does for your 2012-2018 Bmw 3 Series F 31 Touring (OE185)

A bigger rear disc gives you more thermal mass and a longer surface to dissipate heat, which is exactly what an estate-bodied 3 Series needs when the rear axle is loaded up on a long braking zone. The two-piece floating disc trims rotating and unsprung weight at the back, so the rear suspension settles faster over mid-corner bumps. With the Racing compound fitted you get bite that holds when the discs are hot; the Street compound stays quieter and lower-dust for daily use, and Sport sits between the two for fast-road work. Because this is a matched rear kit, it sharpens the F31’s composure under trail-braking and improves brake balance front and rear instead of leaving all the work to the front axle. You feel it as a firmer, more progressive pedal and a rear end that stays planted when you brake late into a corner.

About the XYZ Racing Hollow brake kit

The XYZ Racing Hollow brake kit is a rear-axle upgrade built around the F31 Touring’s OE185 brake reference, a pair of left and right rear calipers and matched discs that locate on the factory mounting points rather than being adapted from another platform. Its discs are two-piece floating units that cut rotating mass while keeping a large swept area for heat capacity. The caliper body is hollow as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use, no dust cover, rated to 1000C and backed by a two-year warranty. Three pad compounds are offered, Street, Sport and Racing, so the same hardware covers everything from a comfortable road car to a circuit-focused build. The included painted caliper finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone available, plus premium polished-forged and candy finishes. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre-bell upgrades in titanium or two-tone anodizing are selectable at checkout. Choose the compound and colour for your use case and the rest of the kit stays consistent.

This kit is cut for the F31 Touring built between 2012 and 2018, matched to the OE185 rear brake reference. Confirm your car is the Touring estate on the F31 chassis and that it runs the OE185 rear setup before ordering, as that reference is the key to correct disc sizing and caliper fitment.
