Caliper render for this kit:

The F34 Gran Turismo is the heaviest body in the F3x family. The raised roofline, stretched wheelbase and liftback tail add a real chunk of kerb weight over the F30 saloon, and a good deal of it sits behind the rear axle. That trailing mass has to be scrubbed off on every stop, which is precisely where the rear axle on a 3 GT works harder than owners expect.
This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the BMW 3 Series F 34 3 GT (OE161) addresses that directly. It swaps the OE rear setup for two-piece floating discs and an upgraded rear caliper, adding thermal capacity and cutting rotating mass at the back of a car that already carries plenty of it.
What this brake kit does for your 2012-2018 Bmw 3 Series F 34 3 GT (OE161)
The first thing you notice is a firmer, more consistent rear bite when you lean on the pedal on a fast B-road or a downhill sequence. Because the discs are two-piece floating units rather than heavy solid castings, you lose rotating and unsprung mass at the rear axle, which sharpens turn-in response and lets the dampers work over surface changes. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, mean you can set the rear balance for daily commuting, spirited road use or repeated hard stops without changing hardware. On a heavy GT body, that extra rear stopping authority also keeps the car settled under trail-braking instead of running wide. The included painted caliper finishes, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, carry no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone available to match the look behind the wheel to the rest of the build.
About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit
The two-piece floating disc is the heart of this kit: removing material from the rotor casting reduces weight and opens up internal airflow, so the disc sheds heat faster than a solid OE part and resists fade across back-to-back stops. It is a rear-axle kit, a pair of left and right rear calipers sized to bolt to the F34 platform, and it ships with your choice of three pad compounds so the friction level matches how you actually drive: Street for quiet road use, Sport for fast-road work, and Racing for circuit temperatures. The hollow-body caliper comes as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use, no dust cover, rated to 1000C and backed by a two-year warranty. The caliper is offered in the included painted finishes from factory-discreet Black through to a Custom Color, with discs drilled or slotted at the same price and centre-bell upgrades selectable at checkout. Everything is specified for the rear position only, designed to complement a matched front upgrade or to firm up rear balance on its own.

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.
