XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Bmw 5 SERIES E 39 S (1995-2003)

The E39 5 Series carries its mass like a proper executive saloon, and on a rear-drive car this size the rear axle does more braking work than owners expect, particularly when you are scrubbing motorway speed repeatedly or trail-braking into a long corner. This XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the BMW 5 Series E39 targets exactly that: heat capacity and pedal consistency at the back of the car.

It is built around two-piece floating discs that shed heat faster than a plain solid casting, a pair of left and right rear calipers you can specify in your own colour, with pads matched to how you actually drive. For a 1995-2003 E39 used hard on road or the occasional track day, that rear thermal headroom is what stops the brakes going soft halfway through a session.

What this big brake kit does for your 1995-2003 BMW 5 Series E39

After fitting, the first thing you notice is a firmer, more repeatable pedal under heavy braking. The two-piece floating disc design pulls heat out of the rotor faster, so the bite stays predictable where the standard setup would already be fading. On a heavy saloon like the E39, that extra rear capacity keeps the car settled under trail-braking instead of leaning entirely on the front axle, holding brake balance front and rear under load. The Racing pad compound copes with sustained hard stops, Sport adds bite for fast-road work, while the Street compound keeps things quiet and clean for daily driving. You can also set the look of the caliper behind the wheel from the included painted finishes, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone.

About the rear big brake kit

The XYZ Racing rear big brake kit is a bolt-on upgrade for the rear axle of the E39, a pair of left and right rear calipers using two-piece floating discs to grow the working surface and improve heat dissipation versus the original solid rotor. The caliper body is hollow as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use, no dust cover, rated to 1000C and backed by a two-year warranty. It is offered with three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, so you can spec it for quiet road manners, mixed road-and-track use, or harder track work without swapping the whole setup. The included painted caliper finishes run from Red and Black through Yellow, Gold and Anodized Black, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for owners matching a specific build. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, with centre-bell upgrades selectable at checkout. The kit deliberately addresses the rear of the car, which is where a heavy rear-drive 5 Series builds heat under repeated braking and where the factory components lose consistency first.
