Caliper render for this kit:

The F87 M2’s short wheelbase and eager rear axle put real heat through the back brakes, and the standard rear setup fades exactly when you start leaning on the car’s rotation. This XYZ Racing rear brake kit for the BMW 2 Series F87 M2 Coupe (OE185) targets that weak point directly, giving the rear axle the thermal headroom it needs once you start stringing corners together.
This is a rear-specific upgrade for the 2016-2020 M2, built around a two-piece floating disc that strips unsprung and rotating mass while holding a larger, more thermally stable friction face. With Street, Sport and Racing pad compounds on offer, you spec the kit to match how the car is actually used, from fast-road duty to repeat track sessions.
What this brake kit does for your 2016-2020 Bmw 2 Series F 87 M2 Coupe (oe185)
The most immediate change is pedal consistency. The M2 loads its rear brakes hard under trail-braking, and the two-piece floating disc sheds heat faster so the bite point stays where you left it deeper into a session. The reduction in rotating mass at the rear axle also sharpens how quickly the car settles on corner entry, which matters on a chassis this keen to move. Stepping up to the Racing pad compound gives you firmer initial bite and higher fade resistance for circuit work, the Sport compound covers spirited road and occasional track use, while the Street compound keeps cold performance and dust manageable for daily driving. Caliper finish is yours to choose across Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black or a custom Pantone colour, so the hardware reads cleanly behind the M2’s wheels.
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 disc uses a hollow-vane design engineered to carry a large braking surface while cutting weight, which lowers both unsprung mass and the rotating inertia the rear axle has to manage; it comes drilled or slotted at the same price, on braided lines. Less rotating mass means the brakes themselves contribute less to the car’s reluctance to change direction, a tangible gain on the tail-happy M2. The forged caliper is hollow-body as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade (no dust cover, 1000C rated, two-year warranty) for serious lapping. The kit ships with three pad compound choices, Street, Sport and Racing, so the same hardware covers a road-biased build or a car that sees regular track time. Caliper colour can be specified with included painted finishes 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. Because it is a rear-axle kit, it pairs naturally with a matched front upgrade for a balanced bias, or stands alone where the rear is the limiting factor.

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.
