Caliper render for this kit:

The F32 4 Series was specified to cover a fast B-road and still behave on the commute, but its rear braking hardware was chosen for that road brief, not for repeat heavy stops on a circuit. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit goes straight at the rear axle of the 4 Series F 32 (OE185), adding thermal headroom and a firmer pedal exactly where the standard rear discs and calipers start to feel vague after a few hard laps.
Rear brakes on a coupe like this do quiet but important work. They set the car’s brake balance front and rear and steady the chassis as you trail off the pedal into a corner. Fit a larger front kit alone and the F32 can feel unbalanced under load; matching the rear with this kit, a pair of left and right rear calipers and matched discs, keeps the car settled rather than nervous when you brake deep and turn in.
What this brake kit does for your 2013-2020 Bmw 4 SERIES F 32 (OE185)
After fitting, the first thing you notice is pedal consistency: the rear axle holds its bite through a session instead of going long as heat builds. The three pad compounds let you set the car up for how you actually drive it, a Street compound for quiet, low-dust road use, the Sport compound for spirited weekend runs with occasional track use, and the Racing compound when the 4 Series sees real track time and needs stable friction at temperature. Caliper colour is yours to choose from the included painted finishes, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone available, so the upgrade reads as deliberate behind an open wheel rather than an afterthought.
About the Hollow rear brake kit
The Hollow rear brake kit takes its name from its lightweight two-piece floating disc design, which trims rotating and unsprung mass at the rear of the car, mass the F32’s dampers and rear bushings then have less work to control. Less rotating weight at each rear corner sharpens how quickly the brakes shed and recover heat, and reduces the inertia the calipers have to clamp against. The kit ships with a choice of three pad compounds, from a road-friendly Street material through a Sport compound to a full Racing compound, so the same hardware suits a daily 420i or a track-focused 435i. The caliper body is hollow as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use, no dust cover, rated to 1000C and carrying a two-year warranty. Caliper finishes span the included painted colours plus a Custom Color, with drilled or slotted discs at the same price and centre-bell upgrades selectable at checkout. It is built as a balanced rear complement to a front upgrade, restoring the brake bias a heavier front kit would otherwise skew.

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.
