XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Bmw 1 SERIES E 87 118 (OE160) (2004-2011)

The E87 1 Series was the only rear-driven hatch of its class, and that layout asks more of the back axle than most owners expect. Brake hard into a roundabout or a trail-braked apex and the rear discs are doing real stabilising work, not just trimming speed. This XYZ Racing rear brake kit for the Bmw 1 Series E 87 118 (OE160) (2004-2011) replaces the modest factory rear setup with a larger, lighter, two-piece floating disc package built to take repeated heat without losing bite.

It is aimed at the owner who has already firmed up the front end and wants the rear to keep pace. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match the kit to anything from a sharper daily to regular track-day use.

What this brake kit does for your 2004-2011 Bmw 1 Series E 87 118 (oe160)

The first thing you feel is a firmer, more progressive pedal, because the disc faces shed heat faster than the solid OE rear discs and resist the fade that creeps in after a few hard stops. On a rear-driven E87 that translates to a more settled back end under braking, so the car rotates predictably into the corner rather than squatting and pushing. With the Racing compound fitted you get a higher working temperature window for circuit sessions; the Sport compound covers fast-road driving, and the Street compound keeps cold bite and low dust for everyday use. Lighter rotating mass at the rear hub also takes a small bite out of unsprung weight, which the multi-link rear axle rewards with cleaner compliance over mid-corner bumps.

About the Rear Brake Kit

The kit is supplied as a matched pair of left and right rear calipers and discs. The two-piece floating rotor uses a hollow-vane design and can be specced with drilled or slotted faces at the same price, venting gas and dust from the pad contact patch and pulling heat out of the rotor more quickly than a plain disc. Paired with a forged caliper, the kit increases swept area over the OE160 rear and gives the pad a more consistent surface to work against as temperatures climb. The caliper is hollow-body as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade (no dust cover, 1000C rated, two-year warranty) for hard track use, and braided lines come as part of the system. The compound choice is the key configurable: Street for low-dust road feel, Sport for fast-road bite with manageable dust, and Racing for sustained high-temperature circuit work. Caliper finish is yours to set, with included painted colours Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, a Custom Color in any Pantone for a small upcharge, plus premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) finishes. Two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours, or titanium, are selectable at checkout, so the hardware behind the wheel can match the build rather than clash with it.
