Will This Fit My Car?
Full Upgrade CCB Big Brake Kits (With Calipers) for the 2007-2013 BMW X5 / X5 M (E70). This page's exact brake setup:
| Model Years | Front Setup | Rear Setup | Min. Wheel Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2007-2013 | Akebono OEM Audi RS 10-Piston (10N) Caliper / 420mm | Brembo OEM Porsche 19Z 4-Piston Caliper / 380mm | 21" |
Fitment here is bespoke: brackets, hat offsets, and caliper mounting are engineered for your exact model and trim rather than copied across the platform. Two trims with the same chassis code can still differ in knuckles, hub geometry, and wheel ET clearance — which is why we confirm your trim first, then build the matched system of calipers, pads, rotor hats, floating hardware, and lines for it. Modified knuckles, uprights, or non-factory suspension points require review before ordering.
The 420 mm rotor sets the minimum wheel size at 21" — smaller wheels will not clear the caliper and rotor. Spoke profile and offset also affect clearance; confirm your exact wheels before ordering.
| Wheel Size (Standard) | Disc Range |

| 15" | 260 mm – 285 mm |
| 16" | 285 mm – 300 mm |
| 17" | 300 mm – 330 mm |
| 18" | 330 mm – 355 mm |

| 20" | 380 mm – 400 mm |
| 21" | 400 mm – 420 mm |

Why Carbon Ceramic — and Why StopFlex
Premium Ceramic-Glaze Finish
StopFlex's proprietary coating gives the disc a bright ceramic-glaze surface with subtle texture — the factory carbon-ceramic look, clearly visible through open wheel designs.
Short-Fiber or Long-Fiber — Your Call
Every StopFlex disc is true carbon-ceramic. Short-Fiber Street Spec uses a simpler chopped-fiber process for a lower price and street-only duty; the Long-Fiber line uses continuous carbon strands that carry load across the whole rotor for higher strength and thermal durability — the pick for track and race heat.
Bespoke Per-Vehicle Engineering
Every order is machined to the confirmed vehicle and trim. Brackets, hat offsets, and pad shapes are built for that exact car — never pulled from a one-size-fits-all catalog.
CCB-Specific Pad Compound
A low-metallic resin pad compound reinforced with steel, copper, and aramid fiber, made for ceramic discs: stable to about 750 °C, roughly 0.44 average friction, strong fade resistance, low rotor wear.
Lower Unsprung Mass
A like-size carbon-ceramic rotor can be materially lighter than an iron disc; the exact saving depends on rotor dimensions. Lower rotating, unsprung mass can reduce the load the suspension has to control.
High-Temperature Stability
The carbon-silicon-carbide friction material is selected for high-temperature stability and fade resistance. Overall pedal feel still depends on pad condition, fluid, caliper stiffness, cooling and operating temperature.
Rust-Free Rotor Surface
Ceramic discs cannot flash-rust. After rain, a wash, or weeks of parking, the rotor face behind your open-spoke wheels stays clean — no orange ring on a freshly detailed car.
Long Street-Service Life
In normal road use with matched pads and correct bedding, carbon-ceramic friction surfaces are designed for low wear. Actual service life depends on mileage, contamination, pad choice, heat cycles and driving use.
Low Visible Dust
Matched StopFlex pads are selected for low visible dust on the ceramic friction surface. Actual wheel dust still varies with pad choice, traffic, temperature, bedding and driving intensity.
Winter & Cold-Weather Braking
Winter use is possible, but cold-start behavior should be treated honestly: ceramic friction can have less initial bite before temperature builds. StopFlex tunes the matched pad/coating combination for cold response; keep extra distance on the coldest first stops and select a Street Spec for severe climates.
Caliper Overview
Front Caliper
The front upgrade uses the Akebono OEM Audi RS 10-Piston (10N) Caliper with a supplied 420mm rotor. This is a full front conversion, with vehicle-specific mounting and hat offset confirmed to the exact trim.
Rear Caliper
The rear upgrade uses the Brembo OEM Porsche 19Z 4-Piston Caliper with a supplied 380mm rotor. Rear brackets, hats and caliper mounting are specified only after exact E70 trim confirmation.
Choose Your Rotor: Short-Fiber Street to Long-Fiber Motorsport
Left to right is ascending duty. Short-Fiber Street Spec keeps carbon-ceramic benefits at a lower price for street use only; the Long-Fiber Street, Track-Day, and Motorsport specs add continuous-fiber strength and thermal durability for everything from daily premium builds to race weekends.
Short-Fiber Street Spec
Chopped short-fiber carbon-ceramic body, ceramic coating, cross-drilled face.
Choose this for street-only use when purchase price matters most. It keeps the carbon-ceramic friction surface and coated finish, but it is not specified for track sessions.
Long-Fiber Street Spec
Continuous long-fiber body, ceramic coating, cross-drilled face, large cooling channels.
Choose this for daily and fast-road use when you want the long-fiber construction without moving to a track-focused face and cooling specification.
Long-Fiber Track-Day Spec
Continuous long-fiber body, ceramic coating, blank face, honeycomb cooling channels.
Choose this for repeated fast-road or track-day braking where thermal duty matters more than the drilled street appearance. High-temperature fluid and appropriate cooling still matter.
Long-Fiber Motorsport Spec
Continuous long-fiber body, uncoated blank face, honeycomb cooling channels.
Choose this for competition-focused use with the corresponding pad, fluid, cooling and warm-up strategy. It is not the default recommendation for a street-driven car.
Heat Management Note
Ceramic discs shrug off surface temperatures that would destroy iron, but the rest of the system still heats up: pads, fluid, seals, calipers, and wheels all absorb soak heat during repeated hard stops. For track days, long descents, and sustained hard driving, run brake cooling and high-temperature fluid.
Get Your Fitment Confirmed
Share your year, model, trim, wheel size, current rotor dimensions, and caliper type. The build is checked against those supplied details before production; VIN/build information may be requested for ambiguous configurations.
FAQ
Does this kit fit every 2007-2013 BMW X5 or X5 M (E70)?
It is listed for the 2007-2013 BMW X5 / X5 M (E70) family, but it is a bespoke full upgrade rather than a chassis-wide assumed fitment. Confirm the exact model and trim before ordering: bracket design, rotor-hat offset and caliper mounting are set for that vehicle, not transferred automatically between E70 variants.
Which carbon-ceramic rotor specification should I choose for my E70?
Choose Short-Fiber Street Spec for lower-cost street-only use. Long-Fiber Street suits higher-demand road use, while Long-Fiber Track-Day and Motorsport are for progressively greater heat and duty requirements. Select the rotor specification around how the X5 is actually driven; the kit’s supplied rotor diameters remain 420mm front and 380mm rear.
How does the kit behave on cold winter starts?
An untuned cold carbon-ceramic disc can have less initial bite than cold iron. This system uses a matched pad compound and disc coating tuned to reduce that cold-start gap, but the coldest first stops still deserve extra margin. Do not expect identical first-stop behavior in every winter condition.
What wheel and parking-brake checks are needed before ordering?
The 420mm front setup requires at least a 21-inch wheel under the listing’s fitment rule. Diameter alone is not enough: spoke profile and offset need physical clearance confirmation. The E70 uses an electromechanical parking brake, so confirm the exact rear configuration during the bespoke fitment process before the rear conversion is finalized.
