Fuel hardline materials... I know I could buy the lines from BMW but they come unbent right? So for the money they cost from BMW it seems to make sense to make my own. Plus I like doing things myself. Was thinking cunifer but unsure if this can handle the pressure. Did a bit of reading online and apparently fuel injected cars can have issues with cunifer/copper fuel lines? Steel is an option, but would be bloody hard to bend. Anyone used cunifer and were there any issues?

I bought the BMW lines and they are pre-shaped. They weren't cheap though. I believe there are others on here who have use braided lines?

u got mine from speedflow, i use their 200 series hose & an fittings, i can't remember the exact size/bore sorry.
but be warned if you go down this route it is far from cheap, IIRC it cost ,e in the region of about £200+ for all the hose from the pump to the engine & that includes all the fittings.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

I think the pipes and hose from BMW worked out over £200 also. This was about 2-3 years ago.
