BMW X5 Brake Kit Overview

The BMW X5 is one of our most popular brake kit applications, for both the E53 and E70 models. This particular car is an E53 with a full front and rear conversion; a front 405mm big 8-pot and rear 380mm big 6-pot setup, with floating rotors and powder coated calipers all-round.

With the E53 weighing over 2 tonnes, the stock brakes are fairly large, with front 2-pot and rear 1-pot slider calipers that have decent sized pistons. However, there is always room for improvement, and once you swap larger wheels, the brakes start to look a little lost in there.

Compared to stock braking, this setup will allow you about 60% extra torque, which greatly reduces stopping distances. Not to mention the benefits when it comes to brake fade; with our vented rotors and high-temp pads, this will be all but eliminated.

The total price for that setup is as follows...

Front 405mm big 8-pot - GBP1349

Rear 380mm big 6-pot - GBP1099

F/R floating rotors - GBP500

F/R powder coating - GBP160

Total = GBP3108 + shipping
