Fits Bmw 5 SERIES F 11 TOURING (2010-2016)

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 Front Brake Kit — Bmw 5 SERIES F 11 TOURING (2010-2016) — 356 mm
356 mm

The F11 Touring carries weight the F10 saloon never has to manage: optional xDrive hardware, a longer roofline with the corresponding bodyshell mass, and in 530d or 535d specification, an iron-block diesel sitting ahead of the front axle centreline. Under repeated hard braking, that aggregate arrives through the front discs as thermal load. The standard front hardware on the F11 was sized for a sensible all-rounder, not for every use case its owners throw at it.

This XYZ Racing front brake kit for the 2010-2016 5 Series F11 Touring addresses the front axle specifically. Fitted as a matched pair of front calipers and discs, it drops disc mass, restores pedal definition, and brings back a sharper bite threshold you can work to repeatedly.

What this brake kit does for your 2010-2016 BMW 5 Series F11 Touring

The two-piece floating disc carries a hollow-vane rotor that reduces rotating mass at the point where it most directly affects steering feel and initial pedal response. On a car that sits over 1,800kg in heavier diesel guise, thermal recovery between stops is a practical concern, and the hollow vane geometry improves airflow through the disc face, keeping temperatures more consistent across successive braking events while holding brake balance steady.

Three pad compounds give genuine flexibility. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for daily use. Sport increases thermal resistance and bite for fast-road work with the occasional track day. Racing shifts the operating window up considerably for sustained circuit load. 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 uses a hollow-vane rotor to reduce the disc’s rotating inertia without compromising swept face area or thermal capacity, a meaningful characteristic when the front brakes handle the majority of retardation on a laden estate. Braided lines come as part of the package for a firm pedal under heat. The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track work 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, and each compound tier is built to work with the rotor surface rather than adapted from a generic pad.

Fitment for the BMW 5 Series F11 Touring (2010-2016)

This kit covers the F11 Touring body across the full 2010-2016 production span. That range takes in the 518d through to the 550i, including xDrive-equipped variants, and the kit specifies front fitment, so SKU XYZ-BRK-BKF-BM-078-FRONT applies across the engine and transmission range. Confirm your chassis configuration against the SKU before ordering.

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.
