Caliper render for this kit:
Five hundred naturally aspirated horsepower from the S85 V10, hauled along in a saloon that tips the scales close to 1.8 tonnes – the E60 M5 asks more of its brakes than almost any other 5 Series. The rear axle does quiet but critical work here: settling the car as weight piles onto the nose under heavy braking, and keeping the tail composed when you brake deep into a corner. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the BMW 5 Series E60 M5 (2005-2010) replaces the standard rear setup with two-piece floating discs and a larger caliper sized to the demands of a high-revving V10 saloon.
The standard M5 rear brakes were never specified with repeat hard use in mind, and owners know the story: surface cracking, glazing and a soft pedal once the car has been worked. This kit targets exactly that, bringing thermal headroom and a firmer, more consistent pedal to a car that builds serious speed between braking zones. It is a rear-axle pair – left and right calipers and discs – not a full-car set.
What this big brake kit does for your 2005-2010 BMW 5 Series E60 M5
Fit it and the first thing you notice is pedal feel: a firmer, more progressive bite that holds its character as the discs heat up, with braided lines keeping the pedal solid. The vented two-piece disc face sheds heat faster and resists the fade that turns a confident stop into a long one after a few hard applications. On a rear-drive V10 saloon that carries its mass high and long, a stronger rear axle helps the car rotate into a corner cleanly rather than running wide on a nose that is already loaded. You also choose the pad compound to suit how you drive: Street for quiet, low-dust road manners, Sport for spirited use and the odd track day, or Racing when the M5 sees serious circuit time. Braking stays predictable from a cold first stop to a hot late one.
About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit
XYZ Racing’s Hollow Rear Brake Kit is built around two-piece floating discs – a vented cast-iron friction ring on an alloy bell, drilled or slotted to your choice at the same price, to vent gas and water away from the pad contact patch and keep rotating mass down. Lighter discs mean less unsprung weight at the rear axle, which helps the suspension follow the road and keeps the contact patch settled. The kit pairs those discs with an upgraded rear caliper, hollow-cast as standard with a Hollow Racing upgrade available for serious track use – no dust cover, a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty. Caliper finish is your choice, painted at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black, with Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Three pad compounds – Street, Sport and Racing – suit a road-going M5, a fast-road build or a car that runs track days, and centre bells upgrade to two-tone anodized in five colours or to titanium. It is engineered around the E60 M5’s specific rear hub and axle dimensions rather than sold as a generic fit.
Fitment for the BMW 5 Series E60 M5 (2005-2010)
This kit is built specifically for the E60-generation BMW M5 produced from 2005 to 2010 – the V10 car, not the standard 5 Series. It fits the rear axle of that chassis across the production run. Confirm your build year against the year span above before ordering, then select your caliper colour, disc style and pad compound.

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.
