Fits Bmw 3 SERIES F 30 335I (2012-2018)

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 3 SERIES F 30 335I (2012-2018) — 356 mm
356 mm

The N55 in the F30 335i delivers its 400Nm early in the rev range, well below where the E46 M3’s S54 would have been singing, and that torque-rich character changes how the front axle is loaded under braking. You are shedding speed from higher velocity, more often, and the factory front brakes were not dimensioned for repeated heavy use. On a fast road or circuit, that becomes apparent after the second or third hard-braking zone.

This is the XYZ Racing front brake kit for the BMW 3 Series F30 335i, covering the 2012-2018 production run as a single-axle upgrade, a matched pair of front calipers and discs. Three pad compounds cover the kit’s full range of intended use, from quiet road-quality replacement to track-day fade resistance. Choose your compound when you order and swap it later as your use of the car evolves.

What this brake kit does for your 2012-2018 Bmw 3 Series F30 335i

Two-piece floating disc construction reduces unsprung weight compared to equivalent solid-disc assemblies, which keeps the F30’s front suspension working over surface changes rather than fighting disc mass mid-braking. The aluminium centre bell lets the friction ring expand cleanly under heat without distorting, and hollow-vane internals draw air through the disc body to keep temperatures down. Fade resistance improves substantially over the standard setup when the Racing compound is fitted, particularly in repeated heavy-braking zones where the 335i’s kerb weight and N55 torque output are both working against you.

The Sport compound sits between the road and track positions, raising the thermal ceiling for spirited fast-road driving without the operating-temperature requirements that a full Racing compound demands on public roads. Street is the quiet, low-dust default. Caliper finish gives the front axle a considered appearance through the spokes of aftermarket or M Sport-spec wheels.

About the XYZ Racing Hollow Brake Kit

The XYZ Racing caliper is built on a hollow body as standard, and the disc is a two-piece floating design at the core of the system. Reducing rotating mass benefits both braking performance and front-end composure: less unsprung weight means the suspension tracks the road surface more accurately under load rather than fighting rotational inertia through the braking phase. The three compounds are a designed-in part of the package: Street suits the 335i used primarily as a daily driver where quiet, low-dust quality is the brief; Sport raises the thermal ceiling for fast-road and occasional circuit work; and Racing is rated for the sustained temperatures that standard pads cannot handle without glazing or fading.

Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be specified two-tone in five anodized colours or in titanium. Caliper colour is painted at no cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black; Custom Color matches any Pantone for £150; and premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) take the look to show grade. The Hollow Racing caliper upgrade (no dust cover, rated 1000C, two-year warranty) and braided lines suit serious track use.

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.
