Race German has collaborated with TBM Brakes to offer the new XS3 Big Brake Kit, an E46 M3 brake kit that offers great braking performance without breaking the bank!
With over 30 years of racing heritage and success, TBM has brought motorsport engineering to the street with their XS3 Series brake package. This is TBM's first street performance oriented brake system, designed to be the perfect middle ground between their ultra-lightweight single-thickness steel racing brakes and the larger multi-piston street kits.
This resulted in incredible stopping power, lightweight construction, and big-brake performances that clears smaller factory wheels.
The XS3 kit was engineered for enthusiasts who want uncompromised braking without being forced into large-diameter wheels. Through extensive testing, TBM confirmed this setup works with many factory 15" steel wheels as well as a wide variety of drag and aftermarket wheels.
The XS3 Extreme Street caliper is built using the same engineering principles as TBM’s championship-proven racing calipers. Its all-billet construction delivers superior rigidity, improved bridge strength, and consistent pedal feel. This added stiffness allows greater clamping force, translating to higher brake torque and shorter stopping distances. Available in multiple powdercoat finishes: Black, Red, Blue, Yellow, or Gray
