Caliper render for this kit:
The E91 330 Touring is a fast estate with a 3.0-litre straight-six and the character to use it, and the OEM front braking system was dimensioned for a car driven sensibly, not one that arrives at roundabouts late from 90-plus on an empty A-road. When the estate body adds its weight to the equation and the boot carries a load, the front axle takes considerably more force on every committed stop. That is the case for a bigger, more capable front brake setup.
The XYZ Racing front big brake kit fits the 2006-2011 E91 330 as a single-axle upgrade, a matched pair of front calipers and discs, with three pad compounds so the system can be matched to how the car is actually used.
What this brake kit does for your 2006-2011 Bmw 3 Series E91 330
The 330d’s M57N2 produces close to 500Nm from low in the rev range, and the 330i’s N52/N53 is happy to pull hard to the redline. Either way, the E91 Touring builds speed fast enough to make the braking zone genuinely demanding. Upgraded front calipers and two-piece floating discs raise the thermal capacity of the front axle well above the OEM specification, so fade on a prolonged fast-road run or a circuit session becomes a different conversation entirely. The aluminium centre bell lets the friction ring expand cleanly under heat, and the hollow-vane internals shift air through the disc body to keep temperatures down.
Sport compound sharpens cold-bite over the Street default without the temperature demands of a full race pad; Racing shifts the bite window to suit sustained hard braking events. Street, the quiet low-dust road compound, completes a three-grade range that lets the same kit cover daily duty through to track work.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The caliper is built on a hollow body as standard, keeping rotating and unsprung mass low at the front axle compared with a heavier solid-bodied alternative, while the disc retains the swept area needed for consistent heat management under repeated hard stops. On the E9x chassis, where the front suspension geometry responds to changes in unsprung weight, lighter rotating hardware translates into more responsive steering and better feel through the front axle mid-corner.
The kit is supplied with matched hardware and brackets specified for the E91 330’s front hub geometry. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, with the centre bell available two-tone in five anodized colours or in titanium. Caliper colour is painted at no cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black; Custom Color matches any Pantone for £150; and premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) or candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) suit a show-grade build. The Hollow Racing caliper upgrade, run without a dust cover, rated to 1000C and warranted two years, is there for serious track use, with braided lines firming the pedal under heat.
Fitment for the Bmw 3 Series E91 330 (2006-2011)
This kit is specified for the BMW 3 Series E91 Touring in 330 trim, covering the full 2006-2011 production span. Front hub geometry is shared between the 330i (N52/N53 petrol) and 330d (M57 diesel) variants within the E91 body, so this kit covers the complete 330 engine range in this body style. Buyers running M Sport-specification front brakes should confirm existing caliper carrier sizing before ordering.

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.
