Fits Bmw 1 SERIES E 87 130 (2004-2011)

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 Front Brake Kit — Bmw 1 SERIES E 87 130 (2004-2011) — 304 mm
304 mm

The E87 130i is the 1 Series that doesn’t quite fit the hatchback category: rear-wheel drive, a naturally aspirated straight-six that revs freely to the red line, and a chassis balance that rewards late, confident braking on both road and circuit. The standard front brake specification is calibrated for the wider E87 range, a sensible setup for the 118i, less well matched to what the 130 demands when driven at its limit.

The XYZ Racing Hollow front brake kit for the BMW 1 Series E87 130 covers 2004 through to the end of production in 2011. It is a single-axle front kit, supplying a matched pair of front calipers and front discs. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, span the full range of use cases, and a wide range of caliper finishes means both the mechanical and visual specification are confirmed at order.

What this brake kit does for your 2004-2011 Bmw 1 SERIES E 87 130

Rear-wheel drive concentrates braking demand at the front axle, and the 130i’s willingness to build speed through the gears means the front hardware is doing meaningful thermal work in hard-use scenarios. The hollow-vane, two-piece floating discs improve bite consistency through repeated braking cycles, where the OEM hardware’s limitations become most apparent, and the floating construction keeps pad contact even as the rotor expands.

Street is the quiet, low-dust road default that suits the car as a road tool; Sport is the choice for owners who track the 130 occasionally and want stronger initial bite without compromising cold-morning behaviour; Racing moves the operating window firmly into circuit territory, where pad behaviour under sustained heat matters most. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price. Caliper finish runs from the included painted colours of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, through Custom Color in any Pantone, to premium polished-forged and candy options, so the visual result aligns with whatever direction the overall 130 build is heading.

About the Hollow brake kit

The Hollow is XYZ Racing’s front big brake kit for the BMW 1 Series E87, covering the 130 in full from 2004 to 2011. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, paring mass from the corner while preserving clamping force, and the kit configures to order across pad compound, disc style and caliper finish.

Three compound grades, Street, Sport and Racing, acknowledge the real diversity in how E87 130 owners use their cars, from spirited daily driving to sustained circuit work, and map a compound to each without forcing owners into a single-purpose setup. Disc style is drilled or slotted at the same price, and caliper finish spans the included painted colours of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, plus Custom Color in any Pantone and premium polished-forged or candy options. Centre bell upgrades in two-tone anodized colours or titanium are selectable at checkout, alongside braided lines. For serious track use, the optional Hollow Racing caliper upgrade runs without a dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. As a front kit, it targets the axle under greatest thermal load during hard use, the natural first hardware step on a car already well sorted in every other regard.

Fitment for the Bmw 1 SERIES E 87 130 (2004-2011)

This front big brake kit is confirmed for the BMW 1 Series in E87 body style and 130 specification, covering the full production span from 2004 to 2011. The E87 is the five-door hatchback in the E8x 1 Series family; buyers should confirm their chassis code before ordering, as the E81 three-door, E82 coupé, and E88 convertible of the same era carry different hardware and are not covered by this listing.

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 286–380mm (front). 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.
