Fits Bmw 7 SERIES E 65 740 (EURO SPEC) (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.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
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 7 SERIES E 65 740 (EURO SPEC) (2002-2008) — 380 mm
380 mm

The E65 740 carries close to two tonnes of N62 V8 luxury saloon, and that mass has to be managed every time the road tightens or a slip road throws you onto a roundabout. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Bmw 7 Series E 65 740 (euro Spec) addresses the rear axle’s share of that work, where braking stability counts for as much as outright stopping power.

This is the rear half of a brake upgrade built for a big, fast cruiser rather than a featherweight track special. With three pad compounds and a hollow-vane two-piece disc that trims unsprung weight, it lets you set the rear bite to match how you actually use the car, from motorway miles to a committed B-road run.

What this brake kit does for your 2002-2008 Bmw 7 Series E 65 740 (euro Spec)

On a saloon this heavy, fade is the enemy on a long descent or under repeated hard stops, and a more thermally capable rear setup holds pedal feel steady when the standard discs would be cooking. The hollow-vane disc design cuts rotating and unsprung mass at each rear corner, which sharpens how the car settles as it slows and eases load off the rear dampers, while the two-piece floating build lets each disc expand under heat without warping. The Racing compound firms up rear bite for harder driving, the Sport pad widens the heat range for fast-road and occasional track work, and the Street pad stays quiet and low-dust for daily use. The upshot is a 740 that feels more planted slowing from speed, with the rear axle pulling its weight instead of letting the balance wash forward.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The kit is built around a hollow-vane two-piece disc, a casting that removes material from the rotor to shed rotating mass without surrendering the thermal headroom a heavy car needs. Less rotating mass means quicker response and less energy spent accelerating and slowing the disc itself. It fits as a left-and-right rear pair, with braided lines and brackets matched to the E65 rear hub. Three pad compounds are offered, Street, Sport and Racing, so the rear axle can be matched to road, fast-road or harder use. The caliper is a hollow-body unit as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing version rated to 1000C and a two-year warranty for serious track cars. Included painted finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone and premium polished-forged and candy options above that. Discs are drilled or slotted at the same price, and two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells are selectable. As the rear-axle kit, it is meant to work in balance with the front, preserving the brake bias the E65 relies on rather than over-braking the back end.

Fitment for the Bmw 7 Series E 65 740 (euro Spec) (2002-2008)

This kit is cut for the euro-spec Bmw 7 Series E 65 740 built between 2002 and 2008, fitting the rear axle across that production run. Confirm your exact build year before ordering so the disc and caliper specification matches your car.

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.
