EBC Brakes 380mm 6-Pot Apollo Big Brake Kit
Combining a 380x36mm disc and six-piston Apollo caliper, EBC’s BBK050 brake kits shine through, suitable for BMW E82 1M and E9X M3.
The Apollo Calipers are available in BLACK, BLUE, RED OR YELLOW finishes and include Yellowstuff or Bluestuff compound pads.
Alongside its availability as a standalone caliper option, the inaugural release of the full 6-piston Apollo Big Brake Kit is custom-tailored for the immensely popular BMW’s, synonymous with spirited road driving, track days, and competitive racing.
Key Features
- EBC’s lightweight-yet-strong aluminium 6-piston brake caliper
- Two-piece bolted design that incorporates high-tensile 12.9-grade steel bolts for reinforcement of the caliper bridge section (computer FEA analysis shows that this offers significant improvements in caliper stiffness compared to a monobloc design)
- Machined from heat-treated low-pressure castings (this offers a noticeable performance advantage over conventional gravity cast calipers, exhibiting higher overall strength and a comparable caliper body stiffness to forging)
- High-temperature fluid seals coupled with full boot-type dust seals give maximum protection against road grime and debris
- Lightweight, hard-anodised aluminium staggered pistons with serrated/castellated piston noses that reduce heat transfer into the braking hydraulics
- Every single brake caliper pressure tested to 2,500psi
- Full stainless-steel hardware and fittings, providing durability and longevity – this caliper will never rust
- Uses standard pad shapes, giving choice when selecting brake pads
- Rather than a powder-coated finish, all Apollo calipers use an advanced high-temperature Teflon™ polyester coating process to ensure they look great for much longer. Currently available in Stealth Black, Storm Shadow Blue, Luminous Yellow and Racing Red
EBC Brakes Racing is dedicated to providing uncompromised braking products of the highest calibre, delivering unmatched performance on track days and in competitive racing environments.

Apollo Calipers
Apollo brake calipers employ a two-piece bolted design, integrating high-tensile 12.9 grade steel bolts to fortify the caliper bridge section. Computer Finite Element Analysis (FEA) demonstrates that employing high-tensile steel bolts to reinforce the bridge leads to notable enhancements in caliper stiffness compared to a monobloc design. A sturdier bridge section reduces elongation during brake application, resulting in a firmer and more responsive pedal feel, particularly following extended periods of heavy braking where the aluminium bridge of a monobloc design caliper significantly softens with rising temperatures. In contrast to the majority of cast calipers, typically produced through gravity casting, Apollo Series caliper bodies are machined from heat-treated low-pressure castings. Low-pressure casting represents a significantly more expensive production technique than conventional gravity casting. However, by exerting pressure to force the aluminium alloy into the mould, the consistency of the final part is substantially enhanced. This confers EBC’s Apollo Series brake calipers with a noticeable performance advantage over conventional gravity cast calipers, showcasing superior overall strength and comparable caliper body stiffness to forged counterparts. Unlike the majority of painted calipers available, Apollo brake calipers eschew a powder coat finish. Powder coating is prone to cracking and discolouration when exposed to high temperatures, resulting in a rapid fading of colour with use. We aim for Apollo calipers to not only look impressive upon purchase but to maintain their visual appeal for years to come. That’s why EBC applies our advanced high-temperature Teflon™ polyester coating process to finish every caliper. This top-coat paint system mirrors the technology used in the cookware industry for the undersides of pans, providing a durable, fade-resistant coating that is easy to clean and ensures that Apollo calipers will retain their aesthetic excellence for years to come.

Delivery timescales are given as estimates in good faith, but cannot be taken as precise or exact information. We highly advise against booking installation/workshop time or engaging in preparatory work until you've received and inspected the goods.
What do our stock statuses mean?
1+ IN STOCK in green stock is readily available in one of our warehouses for express delivery (at the time of viewing).
LOW STOCK in green means we're running low! 1 or 2 left on the shelf so act fast. Over evenings, weekends and bank holidays this stock can move quickly so please bear this in mind.
0 IN STOCK in blue means our primary warehouse does not have unallocated stock, but our UK partners do. Often these can be shipped quickly and efficiently. You'll be notified via the Track My Order page if further delays are unavoidable.
MADE TO ORDER in blue means we've partnered with a supplier which primarily makes their products to order. It's not on our shelf, but your order goes into production immediately.
0 IN STOCK in orange means everybody we work with is unfortunately out of stock. Stock is not available in the UK. The best course of action is to place an order to create an allocation from the next batch arriving.
OUT OF STOCK in red. This product is unavailable to order, for whatever reason we're unable to obtain stock or there is an issue with supply/lead times.
We're tuners too!
Our staff are car enthusiasts, we understand the need for speed... This includes getting your orders out the door as quickly and securely as possible!
In some instances, extended lead times are unavoidable. This is as labour-intensive and frustrating for us as it is for you, please know we are doing our best to facilitate your modification goals. Abuse of our staff or systems will not be tolerated.
Thank you, Team PP
For emissions components this encompasses noise, emissions and balanced back pressure, which have a strong influence on maintaining engine performance (power), and fuel efficiency. Type approval ensures that an aftermarket component will reach, or exceed the performance standard of the corresponding OE part.
Type-approval then, is a certain guarantee that an end user will receive a product of OE equivalent performance attributes.
Products on the Progressive Parts website that meet this approval will be clearly marked or labelled EC or ECE approved.
