Fits Bmw 7 SERIES F 01 (2008-2015)

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 7 SERIES F 01 (2008-2015) — 380 mm
380 mm

The F01 7 Series is the kind of car that makes OEM brake engineers nervous the moment it deviates from its design brief. A two-tonne luxury saloon, whether you are running the 730d or the 750i V8, carries sufficient momentum that the factory front brakes, calibrated for motorway cruising, airport runs and the occasional spirited overtake, are asked to absorb energy loads they were never specified for once the car goes near a circuit or a sustained Alpine descent.

Fitted to the BMW 7 Series F01 (2008-2015), the XYZ Racing Hollow front brake kit brings front-axle stopping capacity in line with the performance the F01 range always suggested. It is a single-axle kit, a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating front discs for the left and right corners. Pad compound is selectable when you order, Street, Sport or Racing.

What this brake kit does for your 2008-2015 Bmw 7 Series

Reducing rotating and unsprung mass at the front axle matters on this platform precisely because the F01 already carries significant static weight forward. The hollow-vane disc construction addresses that directly: lower rotational inertia eases the energy the front brakes must absorb on each deceleration, and the hollow rotor body routes air through the disc to recover heat between stops rather than letting it accumulate through a session. The two-piece floating disc expands without distorting to hold the pad in clean contact, and brake balance, which loads the front corners hardest under heavy stops, is exactly where that extra capacity lands. The three compounds define the working range: Street keeps the refinement and low-noise character F01 owners expect, Sport suits the driver mixing fast-road use with track days, and Racing extends the working temperature window for the sustained high-temperature demand the 7’s kerb weight generates under repeated hard stops. Across all three, the upgrade pushes back the fade onset the OEM system reaches under track or mountain-pass conditions.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

XYZ Racing’s Hollow front brake kit uses a hollow-vane disc that removes material from the rotor body to cut rotating unsprung mass without reducing the swept braking area or compromising rigidity under heat soak, paired with a two-piece floating construction. On the front axle of a heavy GT saloon, where deceleration load is concentrated, that mass reduction has a measurable effect on thermal behaviour and on front suspension response between stops. The caliper body is hollow-cast as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing caliper, no dust cover, a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty, for serious track use. The compound range runs Street for daily and fast-road use, Sport with a higher working-temperature ceiling for mixed driving, and Racing for consistently elevated pad and disc temperatures on circuit. Included painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150 and premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver plus candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Discs are drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre bells can be two-tone anodized in five colours or titanium.

Fitment for the Bmw 7 Series F01 (2008-2015)

This front brake kit is confirmed for the BMW 7 Series F01 in standard-wheelbase configuration, covering the full production run from 2008 to 2015. The front brake architecture is shared across the diesel and petrol variants in this generation, including the 730i, 730d, 740i, 740d, 750i and 760i. Owners of the F02 long-wheelbase derivative should verify front knuckle and caliper carrier compatibility before ordering, as that body variant differs from the F01 at the front axle.

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.
