Fits Bmw 3 SERIES E 90 335 (OE160) (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.

330 mm

The E90 335’s twin-turbo straight-six puts serious torque through the rear axle, and the standard rear discs were never sized for the heat a heavily mapped N54 or N55 generates on repeated stops. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Bmw 3 Series E 90 335 (OE160) tackles exactly that, adding thermal capacity and bite at the back where the OE setup runs out of headroom first.

This is a rear-axle upgrade for owners who have already added power, run track days, or simply want braking balance that matches a 300bhp-plus rear-drive saloon. Supplied as a left-and-right pair and matched to a front upgrade, or fitted to rebalance a car that goes light and fades at the rear under hard use, it brings the back end of the E90 into line with how hard these cars are actually driven.

What this rear big brake kit does for your 2006-2011 Bmw 3 Series E 90 335 (oe160)

On the road, the kit gives firmer, more progressive pedal feel and a rear axle that settles under braking instead of stepping out of shape. The two-piece floating disc and its hollow-vane rotor shed rotating mass at the back, helping the rear suspension react and cutting the heat-soak that fades the OE rear brakes on track. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you set rear bite for a daily commute, a fast-road weekend or a full session on circuit. Caliper colours in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black or a Custom Color mean the hardware looks right behind an open wheel. The result is a 335 that stops shorter, stays balanced into a corner, and holds that performance across a session rather than wilting after one heavy stop.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit is XYZ Racing’s rear-axle braking package, built around a two-piece floating disc whose hollow-vane rotor trims unsprung and rotating weight without surrendering the thermal mass that keeps temperatures in check. The disc is paired with a performance caliper and a choice of three pad compounds, so the same hardware spans a road-biased setup through to a racing pad for sustained track abuse. The Street compound covers regular, low-dust driving, the Sport pad steps up bite and fade resistance for spirited road use, and the Racing compound handles repeated heavy braking. Disc faces can be drilled or slotted at the same price. Calipers are finished in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone and premium polished-forged or candy finishes, and a Hollow Racing caliper upgrade for committed track use. Conceived as the rear complement to a front big brake upgrade, it lets you tune front-to-rear balance rather than over-braking a single axle.

Fitment for the Bmw 3 Series E 90 335 (OE160) (2006-2011)

This kit is specified for the E90-generation Bmw 3 Series, 335 (OE160) variant, across the 2006 to 2011 model years and mounting as a left-and-right pair. It is a rear-axle fitment built to the OE160 reference for this chassis. Confirm your exact build year before ordering so the rear setup matches 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.
