Fits Bmw 5 SERIES G 30 (2WD/ 4WD) (NON M5) (2017-2026)

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.

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 G 30 (2WD/ 4WD) (NON M5) (2017-2026) — 356 mm
356 mm

The G30 5 Series was engineered for comfort and refinement first, and the front brakes reflect that brief, specified for long service intervals and everyday modulation rather than sustained high-speed deceleration. On the 540i or any xDrive variant, the front axle is managing real mass under hard stops, and the gap between what the drivetrain suggests and what the factory brakes were built to handle becomes apparent when the road demands more than normal. This XYZ Racing front brake kit is the direct answer, fitted as a matched pair of front calipers and discs.

Three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, configure the kit from a daily-driver improvement to a full track-use setup. The caliper finish menu lets the visual specification match the car: on a G30 with open-spoke alloys, the brake installation sits in full view.

What this front brake kit does for your 2017-2026 Bmw 5 Series G30

The two-piece floating disc carries a hollow-vane rotor that improves heat dispersal compared to the OE vented item, keeping brake temperatures in check over a sequence of hard stops rather than a single emergency application. That matters on a large executive saloon where thermal buildup is the most likely cause of pedal softening under repeated use. Reduced rotating mass keeps the front composed, and brake balance stays steady under load.

Pad compound selection sharpens performance further. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for road use. Sport raises response and initial bite while staying consistent in cold conditions. Racing is built for the highest thermal demand, where fade resistance takes priority over all-weather compliance. On xDrive variants, the additional front-axle load from the transfer case and front differential means the upgraded setup is managing a harder brief than rear-wheel-drive versions. 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

This is a front-axle upgrade developed for the full G30 5 Series platform, covering both 2WD and xDrive derivatives in non-M5 specification. The two-piece floating disc lets heat exit the rotor more freely than a solid or conventional vented unit, extending the performance window over multiple hard braking events, with braided lines holding 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 G30 (2017-2026)

This front brake kit covers the BMW 5 Series G30 chassis in both 2WD (rear-wheel drive) and xDrive (all-wheel drive) configurations, non-M5 specification only, across the 2017 to 2026 model year range. The M5 uses a distinct braking platform and caliper architecture and is not covered by this part number.

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.
