It would help if you told us what pipes?

I replaced the static pipes on my m3 without touching the tank/exhaust.

You only need to drop the tank if you are changing the rubber hoses that run over the top of it, and these are very rarely a problem. Your other threads seemed to be referring to the solid fuel lines. Have you actually looked under the car? It's fairly easy to see how it all comes apart.

yes its the solid fuel lines. gonna be replacing all four of them but one goes up side of tank so cant quite see how far although new lines arriving from bmw today so should have better idea

they are all around about 2 metres in length and are pre pormed. 2 lead to the filter other 2 to the tank
