Caliper render for this kit:
The E90 330’s factory front brakes are sized for road use, not the circuit. On a serious track day, repeated heavy stops from high speed through a full session and temperatures building across the pad and disc face, the stock calipers show their limits: pedal travel grows, bite diminishes, and confidence in the front axle becomes something you manage rather than take for granted.
The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the BMW 3 Series E90 330 (2006-2011) covers both the performance requirement and the visual one. It is a single front-axle kit, a matched pair of calipers and two-piece floating discs. Pick the compound that matches how the car is used, and the brakes work accordingly.
What this brake kit does for your 2006-2011 Bmw 3 Series E 90 330
The primary gain is thermal headroom. The E90 330’s rear-drive layout rewards a driver who trail-brakes into corners and loads the front axle hard under entry, a technique that exposes the limits of an underspecified brake system quickly. Raising the front brake’s operating ceiling produces more consistent response at that limit, rather than the progressive softening that marks an overheated stock setup. The hollow-vane disc draws cooling air through the rotor body, and the two-piece floating ring grows under heat without coning while trimming rotating and unsprung mass. Braided lines firm the pedal further. Street covers regular road and motorway use with low dust and quiet running, Sport suits aggressive driving on public roads with track-day capability, and Racing is the correct choice when the E90 goes to circuit and temperatures climb. Caliper options in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black are included at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, letting the front brakes integrate with the visual build rather than remain an afterthought.
About the Hollow Brake Kit
The XYZ Racing front-axle kit is available across a broad spread of European performance fitments. The caliper runs a hollow body as standard, keeping reciprocating weight low; for dedicated circuit use a Hollow Racing upgrade drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The three-tier compound structure, Street, Sport and Racing, is the kit’s central feature: compound is specified at point of order, matching the pads to how the car is driven rather than committing buyers to a single formulation across all conditions. For the E90 330 owner whose car serves both the morning commute and weekend circuit sessions, that flexibility carries genuine weight. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and caliper finishes, from the included painted colours through premium polished-forged and candy options to two-tone or titanium centre bells, bring visual depth to a component that sits prominently behind an open-spoke wheel, whether the car attends concours events or circuit days.
Fitment for the Bmw 3 Series E 90 330 (2006-2011)

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.
