Fits Bmw 5 SERIES F 07 5 GT 535 (OE185) (2009-2017)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Bmw 5 SERIES F 07 5 GT 535 (OE185) (2009-2017) — 356 mm
356 mm

The F07-generation 5 Series GT is a deceptively heavy car, and its rear axle does far more thermal work than the badge suggests. Sat on the long, F01-derived wheelbase it shares with the 7 Series, the 535 GT carries serious mass at speed, and the standard rear discs spend a lot of their life soaking up heat on long downhill braking and repeated high-speed slowing.

The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the BMW 5 Series F07 5 GT 535 (2009-2017) is built to take that heat without fading. It pairs a pair of left and right rear calipers with two-piece floating discs and a choice of pad compound, so you can match the rear axle’s bite to how the car is actually used, from relaxed motorway miles to harder fast-road driving.

What this brake kit does for your 2009-2017 Bmw 5 SERIES F 07 5 GT 535 (OE185)

After fitting, the first thing you notice is consistency. The two-piece floating disc construction sheds weight and helps the rear discs run cooler, so the pedal stays firm through repeated stops instead of going long once the standard setup is heat-soaked, with braided lines reinforcing the feel. The three pad compound options – Street, Sport and Racing – let you tune rear bite to suit a daily 535 GT or a car driven harder on faster roads, with Sport sitting between the quiet Street pad and the track-focused Racing compound. With less rotating mass at each rear corner, the axle also feels marginally quicker to settle under braking. Painted caliper finishes in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black come at no extra cost so the upgrade looks deliberate behind the wheels.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

This is a rear-axle big brake kit using two-piece floating discs to cut unsprung weight while improving the surface area available for cooling. The vented friction ring moves heat away from the friction face faster than a solid OE disc, which is what keeps the pedal predictable on a car as heavy as the GT, and discs can be specified drilled or slotted at the same price. Compound choice is the key flexibility here: the Street pad suits road use, the Sport pad steps up bite and heat tolerance for spirited driving and occasional track days, and the Racing compound is there for the hardest use. The caliper body is hollow-cast as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that drops the dust cover for a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty. Beyond the included painted colours, the caliper can be specified in Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, or candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange, with centre bells upgradeable to two-tone anodized in five colours or to titanium.

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.
