Caliper render for this kit:

The E90 323i carries less weight over its front axle than the 330i and 335i it shares a multi-link rear end with, so under hard braking the back of the car does more of the work than most owners give it credit for. This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Bmw 3 Series E 90 323 (OE160) targets that exact point, swapping the modest factory rear setup for larger two-piece floating discs and a fixed caliper that holds rear bias steady as the brakes heat soak.
On a 2006-2011 saloon that has long since stopped being a company car and become a fast-road and occasional track-day machine, the standard rear brakes are the first thing to cry off after a few committed stops. Supplied as a left-and-right pair, this kit upgrades the rear, not just the front, which is how you keep the E90’s balance honest when you start braking deep into a corner.
What this rear brake kit does for your 2006-2011 Bmw 3 Series E 90 323 (OE160)
The most immediate change is pedal consistency: a fixed caliper clamping a larger two-piece disc resists the fade that makes the standard 323 rear brakes go long and vague after repeated use. More thermal capacity at the rear axle keeps front-to-rear balance predictable, so the car stays settled rather than nose-diving and shedding rear grip when you brake hard into a turn. The three pad compound choices let you match the kit to how you actually drive the car: the Street compound for quiet, low-dust road use, the Sport pad for spirited road and light track work, and the Racing compound for sustained circuit sessions where bite and heat tolerance matter most. Behind the wheels, caliper colour options of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black give the rear of the car a clear visual lift to match the function.
About the XYZ Racing Hollow rear brake kit
XYZ Racing’s Hollow line uses a two-piece floating disc with a hollow-vane rotor to cut rotating and unsprung mass while keeping a large swept area for heat management, which is the core trade-off any rear big brake kit has to get right. The fixed caliper replaces the sliding factory unit for a stiffer, more even clamp across the pad, translating into a firmer pedal and more linear modulation. The kit, supplied as a pair, is offered with three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, so the same hardware can be specified for a daily-driven 323 or one that sees regular lapping. Disc faces can be drilled or slotted at the same price. Caliper finishes run across Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone and premium polished-forged or candy options, and a Hollow Racing caliper upgrade is available for serious track use. The design priority throughout is repeatable rear braking performance under load rather than a single hard stop, which is what separates a proper kit from oversized discs alone.

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.
