Caliper render for this kit:
The F80 M3 Sedan carries the weight penalty of its four-door body, around 1,500kg at the kerb, while the twin-turbo S55 ensures momentum is never in short supply. On circuit, that combination loads the front brake axle hard, and repeated braking from motorway-plus speeds introduces heat soak that leads owners to investigate front brake upgrades sooner rather than later.
The XYZ Racing front brake kit gives the F80 M3’s front axle genuine thermal headroom. It is a single-axle upgrade, a matched pair of front calipers and discs, with two-piece floating discs and a choice of three pad compounds so the specification matches how hard the car is actually being driven.
What this brake kit does for your 2014-2018 BMW 3 Series F80 M3 Sedan
The front axle of the F80 M3 Sedan handles significant braking loads: decelerating the saloon’s kerbweight under hard stops, managing weight transfer through Competition Pack tyres, and absorbing heat from repeated applications in circuit conditions. Two-piece floating disc construction reduces rotating mass at the front corner while improving thermal dispersion, and the aluminium centre bell lets the friction ring expand cleanly under heat, keeping pedal feel consistent through extended sessions where the standard cast-iron discs begin to show their limits. Hollow-vane internals draw air through the disc body to keep temperatures down.
Three pad compounds acknowledge the M3 Sedan’s dual nature: Street is the quiet, low-dust compound for daily use, Sport for fast-road and circuit approaches with more bite and heat range, and Racing for owners who dedicate track days to proper lap-session driving. Caliper finish completes the specification for owners building to a particular aesthetic alongside the performance upgrade.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The XYZ Racing caliper is built on a hollow body as standard, and the two-piece disc removes material from non-structural areas to reduce rotating mass without compromising swept area or integrity. On a front-biased saloon like the F80 M3, that reduction in unsprung weight has a secondary effect on steering response and front-end agility, beyond the primary gain in braking consistency.
Three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, give the owner control over the performance specification. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be specified 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) and candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) take the look to show grade. The Hollow Racing caliper upgrade (no dust cover, rated 1000C, two-year warranty) and braided lines suit serious track use, giving the owner control over both the performance specification and the visual result from behind the wheel arch.
Fitment for the BMW 3 Series F80 M3 Sedan (2014-2018)
This front brake kit is built for the BMW F80 chassis M3 Sedan across its full 2014 to 2018 production run, covering both the 431bhp standard M3 and the 450bhp Competition variant introduced in 2016. Front axle fitment only; the kit targets the brake position where heat management has the most direct effect on sustained on-track performance and repeated high-speed road use in the BMW 3 Series.

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.
