Caliper render for this kit:
The F10 5 Series sits at the composed, continent-covering end of BMW’s executive range, and the 528 specification takes that stance furthest, tuned for effortless pace rather than lap times. At roughly 1,700kg it asks a great deal of its front axle under hard braking, and the standard discs and pads are calibrated for the kind of driving most 528 owners actually do, not for someone pressing hard across a mountain pass or attending track days.
This XYZ Racing front brake kit for the F10 528 corrects that. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, cover the full range from daily commute to circuit entry, and the caliper finish menu lets you finish the installation to suit the car. It fits as a matched pair of front calipers and discs.
What this brake kit does for your 2010-2016 Bmw 5 SERIES F 10 528
The F10 platform front-loads its braking demand. The long wheelbase and forward weight bias mean the leading axle absorbs the majority of deceleration force under hard stops. The two-piece floating disc with its hollow-vane rotor manages that thermal load more effectively than the standard 528 hardware, translating to consistent pedal feel on sustained descents where the stock items begin to communicate their limits. Reduced rotating mass keeps the front composed between stops.
Street is the quiet, low-dust compound for day-to-day use, preserving the progressive pedal the F10’s chassis calibration expects. Sport introduces a sharper initial bite and a higher heat range for drivers who push hard on fast roads. Racing extends that into high-load, high-temperature circuit work. All three run on the same hardware, so upgrading the compound later needs no additional kit components. Caliper colours start with the no-cost painted options of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black. A Custom Color in any Pantone is £150, with premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver, or candy Teal, Blue, Red, and Orange.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The kit is built around disc designs that prioritise heat rejection during repeated hard stops, a different engineering emphasis to simply fitting a larger swept area. The two-piece floating disc pairs a hollow-vane rotor with braided lines that hold a firm pedal under heat. The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre bell upgrades are available two-tone in five anodized colours or in titanium. Caliper colour and compound are selected when you order.
Fitment for the Bmw 5 SERIES F 10 528 (2010-2016)
This kit covers the BMW 5 Series F10 in 528 specification across the full 2010 to 2016 production run. The F10 528 ran both a naturally aspirated straight-six and a turbocharged four-cylinder across this period depending on market and model year, and the kit covers both variants. Front axle installation only; rear braking hardware is a separate SKU.

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.
