Brembo Big Brake Kits for BMW F25 X3 (2011-2017)

This page lists the Brembo big brake kit we offer for the second-generation BMW X3 (F25), sold in the US for the 2011-2017 model years. The F25 is a heavy, quick compact SUV, and drivers who tow, carry loads or take mountain roads at pace ask a lot of the factory brakes. A Brembo GT kit adds heat capacity and a firmer, more consistent pedal. A Brembo system replaces the caliper and disc on the axle you choose with a matched caliper, disc and pad package, sold as a complete axle set.

Brembo lists one kit for the F25: a GT 6-piston front kit on 380x32mm two-piece discs. It comes in black, red, silver, yellow, GT-S hard-anodized black or GT-R nickel-plated billet, and is offered with drilled, Type 1 slotted or Type 3 slotted discs.

Choosing Your Kit

• Kit: One front kit is listed first: a GT 6-piston kit on 380x32mm discs. Each kit name gives the axle, the system (GT or PISTA), the piston count and the disc size.
• Finish: every kit on this page comes in black, red, silver, yellow, GT-S (black hard-anodized), and GT-R (billet-machined and nickel-plated). A finish that a kit does not offer cannot be selected for it.
• Disc Type: drilled discs suit street driving and give good wet-weather bite; Type 1 Slotted is a street and occasional-track disc; Type 3 Slotted is aimed at regular track days. Every kit offers Drilled, Type 1 Slotted, and Type 3 Slotted.

Features

• 6-piston Brembo calipers, matched to 380x32mm discs on this car
• 2-piece disc construction: an iron friction ring on a lighter aluminum bell
• GT caliper finishes plus GT-S (black, hard-anodized) and GT-R (billet-machined, nickel-plated) on the kits that list them
• Every kit is a complete axle set

What's Included

FAQ

Which X3 models does this fit?
Brembo lists the kit for the X3 (F25) 2011-2017, with no model exclusions on the price sheet.

Is there a rear kit?
No. Brembo lists only the front GT 6-piston kit on 380x32mm two-piece discs for the X3. The front axle does most of the braking, so this is where a big brake kit makes the biggest difference.

Does this kit fit the newer X3?
No. The G01 X3 (2018 on) has its own page with the kits Brembo lists for it.

Which finish should I choose?
Black, red, silver and yellow share one price. GT-S hard-anodized black costs a little more, and GT-R nickel-plated billet is the premium option with a billet-machined caliper.

Will these kits fit my wheels?
Every big brake kit needs wheel clearance, and the 380mm kits need the most room on the X3. Send us your wheel size and offset and we will check them against Brembo's clearance data before you order.

Fitment Notes

Brembo lists the kit on this page for the BMW X3 (F25) 2011-2017. Brembo GT systems are designed for cars at original ride height. Raising the ride height is not compatible with the brake lines included in these systems. The GT-R 6-piston caliper needs different wheel clearance from the GT 6-piston caliper.

Each kit fits the vehicles listed below. Confirm wheel clearance before ordering.
