Fits Bmw 3 SERIES E 90 323 (OE185) (2006-2011)

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.

On the E90 323, the rear axle does less of the braking work than the front, and that split is precisely why a tired or undersized rear setup quietly caps how hard you can commit into a corner. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit gives the back of this rear-drive saloon a stiffer, more heat-stable clamp, so the tail stays composed when you trail the brakes towards an apex instead of running wide.

This is a rear-specific kit for the 2006-2011 3 Series E 90 323, supplied as a left-and-right pair and built to balance a front upgrade rather than disguise a soft pedal. The two-piece floating disc trims rotational mass out at the wheel, and the Street, Sport and Racing pad compounds let you match rear bias to how the car is actually driven.

What this brake kit does for your 2006-2011 Bmw 3 Series E 90 323 (OE185)

The first thing you feel is a firmer, more progressive rear bite, which makes the E90 easier to rotate under braking and less prone to the lazy, nose-led understeer these saloons carry from the factory. Swapping to the Racing compound holds pedal feel together through repeated stops on a track day, where a standard rear disc starts to glaze and go long. The Sport compound suits harder fast-road driving and the odd lap, while the Street compound keeps things quieter and lower on dust for daily use. Because the kit is rear-only, you can tune front-to-rear balance deliberately rather than over-braking one end. Caliper colours from Red and Yellow through Gold to Anodized Black, or a Custom Color, let the hardware look the part behind an open wheel.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit is XYZ Racing’s rear-axle braking package for the E90, pairing a fixed caliper with a two-piece floating disc whose hollow-vane rotor cuts rotational weight without giving up swept area. Removing material from the disc lowers the mass the hub has to spin up and slow down, which sharpens response and eases the load on the rear bearings and dampers. Three pad compounds come with the kit: Street for quiet, low-dust road use, Sport for harder fast-road driving, and Racing for sustained circuit heat. Disc faces can be drilled or slotted at the same price. Caliper finishes run from the included Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black through to a Custom Color in any Pantone and premium polished-forged or candy options, so the hardware can be ordered to suit the car’s existing scheme, and a Hollow Racing upgrade is on hand for committed track use. It is built as a rear companion to a front big brake setup, completing the upgrade rather than working alone.

Fitment for the Bmw 3 Series E 90 323 (OE185) (2006-2011)

This kit is cut specifically for the Bmw 3 Series E 90 323, OE185 reference, across the 2006 to 2011 production span. It mounts at the rear axle only, as a left-and-right pair. Confirm your exact build year before ordering so the caliper and disc match 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.
