2007-2013 BMW X5 (E70) CCB Big Brake Kit — Genuine Akebono OEM Porsche 10-Piston (10N) Caliper Front + Genuine Brembo OEM Porsche 19Z 4-Piston Caliper Rear Setup
The 2007-2013 BMW X5 E70 is a heavy SAV, so repeated high-speed stops can expose the limits of factory iron brakes through heat load, pad dust, and rotor wear. This StopFlex kit pairs 420mm front carbon-ceramic rotors with Genuine Akebono OEM Porsche 10-Piston (10N) Calipers and 380mm rear carbon-ceramic rotors with Genuine Brembo OEM Porsche 19Z 4-Piston Calipers. Each order is built around the customer’s confirmed E70 trim so the brackets, rotor-hat offsets, caliper position, brake lines, and wheel clearance are matched to that exact vehicle.
- 420mm front carbon-ceramic rotors require 21-inch or larger wheels on the E70; wheels under 21 inches will not clear, and spoke clearance must still be checked.
- Front braking is handled by the exact Genuine Akebono OEM Porsche 10-Piston (10N) Caliper, matched to a 420mm rotor for heat capacity on a heavy X5 chassis.
- The rear package uses a 380mm carbon-ceramic rotor and Genuine Brembo OEM Porsche 19Z 4-Piston Caliper so the rear axle is engineered with the front upgrade instead of left as a factory mismatch.

Every StopFlex kit is bespoke-engineered for your exact model and trim — the brackets, rotor-hat offsets, and caliper mounting are matched to your specific car, not assumed from the platform. This matters because trims that share a chassis name can differ mechanically: a pure M or performance variant often carries different front knuckles/uprights, hub geometry, and wheel axial (ET) clearance than the standard models in the same family, so a bracket and hat offset that bolt onto one are not the same parts that fit the other. StopFlex supplies the calipers, pads, rotor hats, floating hardware, and brake lines as a matched system built to your confirmed trim. Cars with modified knuckles, modified uprights, or non-factory suspension mounting points must be reviewed before ordering and are not treated as direct-fit.
This setup uses a 420 mm front rotor, so the minimum wheel size is 21". Wheels under 21" will not clear the caliper and rotor, and spoke profile and offset affect clearance too — confirm your exact wheels before ordering.

Caliper Overview — Front & Rear Balance
Front Caliper (Primary Upgrade)
The front axle uses the Genuine Akebono OEM Porsche 10-Piston (10N) Caliper, giving the E70 a large multi-piston clamping area over a 420mm carbon-ceramic rotor. Its OEM Porsche provenance matters because it is a production-derived performance caliper, not an unproven cosmetic casting. StopFlex positions this caliper with trim-specific brackets and rotor-hat offsets so pad sweep, caliper centering, and wheel clearance are verified for the customer’s exact X5.
Rear Caliper (Balance)
The rear axle uses the Genuine Brembo OEM Porsche 19Z 4-Piston Caliper on a 380mm carbon-ceramic rotor to support rear brake torque without overworking the front axle. Because the E70 uses a factory electronic parking-brake system, rear fitment must be confirmed so parking-brake function and rear hardware packaging are handled correctly.
Front & rear, engineered together: The 420mm front and 380mm rear carbon-ceramic packages are engineered as one system so piston area, rotor diameter, pad choice, and axle bias are not left to chance. For an E70 X5, that matters because a front-only oversized setup can change pedal feel, ABS behavior, and stability under heavy braking.
Make It Yours — Color & Logo Customization
Every StopFlex kit-upgrade order can be finished with custom caliper colors, a custom caliper logo, and custom rotor hat colors, so the brake package matches your exact build instead of a fixed off-the-shelf look.

Why StopFlex CCB
Lower Unsprung Mass
StopFlex carbon-ceramic rotors are engineered to reduce rotor mass versus comparable iron discs, helping the suspension react cleaner and the steering feel more precise.
High-Temperature Stability
The carbon-silicon-carbide matrix is built for stable braking behavior at temperatures that can push iron rotors into heavy fade.
Rust-Free Rotor Surface
Carbon ceramic does not form orange flash rust after rain, washing, or storage, keeping the visible rotor face cleaner behind open wheels.
Long Street-Service Potential
In normal road use with matched pads and proper bedding, StopFlex CCB rotors are designed for far longer service life than typical iron replacement rotors.
Low Visible Dust
When paired with matched StopFlex pads, the system produces very low visible brake dust compared with conventional iron rotor and pad combinations.
Premium Ceramic-Glaze Appearance
StopFlex's proprietary coating creates a bright, high-end ceramic-glaze finish with subtle glaze texture and a more premium visual character behind open wheels.
Street-Usable Cold Bite
Street Spec and Track-Day Spec rotors are designed for normal first-stop road use, including cold-weather operation. Motorsport Spec is the competition-focused exception.
Continuous Fiber Reinforcement
Long-fiber carbon ceramic construction improves structural strength and thermal durability versus chopped-fiber approaches.
Heat Management Note
Carbon ceramic rotors tolerate extreme surface temperature, but they do not remove every heat-management requirement. During repeated hard stops, heat can still soak into pads, fluid, seals, calipers, wheels, and nearby components. For long track sessions, mountain descents, or sustained aggressive driving, brake cooling and high-temperature fluid are still recommended.
Street / Track-Day / Motorsport Rotor Options
Street Spec
Ceramic coating, cross-drilled face, and large cooling channels.
Best for daily driving and premium street builds that need clean cold bite, low dust, corrosion-free appearance, and long service life.
Track-Day Spec
Ceramic coating, blank face, and honeycomb cooling channels.
Best for fast-road and track-day use where repeated braking stability matters more than maximum visual drilling style.
Motorsport Spec
Uncoated blank face with honeycomb cooling channels.
Best for race-focused builds that run competition pads, high-temperature fluid, cooling strategy, and a proper warm-up window. Not the default street choice.

EPB & Rear Caliper Options
This vehicle leaves the factory with an electronic parking brake (EPB) built into the rear brake, so the rear of the kit is built to keep that EPB working. There are two rear paths. The first is a dual-caliper rear: a main performance caliper handles braking while a dedicated EPB actuator caliper is retained alongside it, so the electronic parking brake, auto-hold, and hill-start assist all keep working; on this path the rear performance caliper can be the TTSPORT EP4 / EP4S 4-piston caliper. The second is an EPB-integrated caliper, a single rear caliper with the electromechanical parking-brake motor built in for a cleaner install with fewer parts behind the wheel; on this path the rear is the TTSPORT EP4 / EP4S 4-piston caliper with integrated EPB. Which path fits best depends on your exact trim and EPB configuration, your budget, your appearance preference, and your wheel size and spoke clearance. Confirm your car's rear-brake configuration with StopFlex before ordering so the correct EPB-compatible rear option is built for your kit.
| Rear option | What it is | Rear caliper | Best when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dual caliper (EPB retained) | Performance caliper plus a dedicated EPB actuator caliper, both fitted on the rear, so the factory electronic parking brake keeps working. | TTSPORT EP4 / EP4S 4-Piston Caliper | You want guaranteed factory EPB, auto-hold, and hill-start behavior preserved. |
| EPB-integrated caliper | A single rear caliper with the electromechanical parking-brake motor built in, for a cleaner install with fewer parts behind the wheel. | TTSPORT EP4 / EP4S 4-Piston Caliper with integrated EPB | You want a cleaner single-caliper rear with full EPB function. |
FAQ
Will this kit fit my exact 2007-2013 BMW X5 E70 trim?
Fitment is confirmed by exact model, trim, brake baseline, hub/knuckle geometry, and wheel data before production. E70 standard trims and X5 M/performance variants can differ in uprights, offsets, and clearance, so StopFlex builds the brackets and rotor hats for your specific vehicle instead of assuming all E70 models are the same.
What wheels are required for the 420mm front rotor?
The 420mm front rotor requires 21-inch or larger wheels. Wheels under 21 inches will not clear, and 21-inch-plus wheels still need a spoke-clearance check against the Genuine Akebono OEM Porsche 10-Piston (10N) Caliper.
Will the electronic parking brake still work?
The E70 X5 has a factory electronic parking-brake actuator system, so rear-kit planning must preserve the parking-brake function and rear hardware packaging. StopFlex verifies the rear setup before production rather than treating the 380mm rear conversion as a generic caliper swap.
Why choose carbon-ceramic on an E70 X5 instead of another iron big brake kit?
Carbon-ceramic rotors reduce brake dust and rotating mass compared with iron rotors while adding heat capacity for repeated high-speed stops. On a heavy X5 E70, the main reasons are cleaner wheels, reduced unsprung weight, improved heat stability, and a matched 420mm front / 380mm rear package built around the exact trim.
