Caliper render for this kit:

The F13 6 Series coupé carries a kerb weight approaching 1,800kg in base 640i form, and the V8-engined 650i pushes that figure further. Under repeated heavy braking from the pace this chassis invites, that mass arrives at the front axle first and in volume. This XYZ Racing front brake kit for the BMW 6 Series F13 (2WD/4WD) is sized for that thermal and mechanical demand, fitted as a matched pair of front calipers and discs.
As a grand tourer that covers ground quickly, the F13’s typical use pattern, fast A-roads, sustained high-speed motorway runs, the occasional circuit session, puts consistent load on the front brakes in a way the OE hardware was not fully designed to absorb. An upgrade at the front axle is the natural response for any F13 owner who drives consistently at the car’s performance ceiling.
What this brake kit does for your 2011-2017 Bmw 6 SERIES F 13 (2WD/ 4WD)
The two-piece floating disc carries a hollow-vane rotor that reduces unsprung rotational mass at the front axle while improving heat dissipation across the braking cycle, directly relevant on a car that places significant load over its front tyres under hard braking. Temperatures stay more consistent across successive heavy stops, preventing the progressive pedal-travel creep that signals fade on heavier GT-class machinery, and brake balance holds steady.
Three pad compounds let the kit be matched to use. Street is the quiet, low-dust compound with better initial bite than OE and no change to cold-brake behaviour. Sport suits fast-road and mixed-use driving with a higher heat range. Racing is for circuit sessions where the pads can be properly bedded in and sustained high temperatures are the norm. 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, a visible upgrade through the F13’s large alloys.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The kit centres on a two-piece floating disc whose hollow-vane rotor reduces rotating mass while preserving the structural integrity required for sustained high-load braking, the primary advantage over conventional solid rotors at equivalent diameter being its ability to shed heat between stops. It mounts directly to the F13’s front axle, replacing the factory hardware with components designed for greater thermal capacity and faster recovery. Braided lines come as part of the package. 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. Compound and colour are selected when you order.
Fitment for the Bmw 6 SERIES F 13 (2WD/ 4WD) (2011-2017)
This front kit covers the BMW 6 Series F13 across the full 2011-2017 production span, confirming fitment for both 2WD rear-wheel-drive and 4WD xDrive variants. The kit addresses the front axle only; confirm your rear braking specification before selecting compound grades for the car. Verify your exact production date against the supplied fitment guide 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.
