Ok folks, so I'm about to sell my 328 and downgrade to an 318is, not ideal I know, but needs must when I'm suddenly doing 500 miles per week.
The car I'm picking up is my mates, and currently off road due to failing the MOT on the metal brake lines being corroded (apparently common problem). I've taken a ganders on Real OEM but those drawing make little sense to me. Anyone provide with with some indications as to which bits I need and a suggestion as to the best placer (ie Euro's BMW GSF etc)
Thanks
E36 318is brake lines

LPG the 328i, job done
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

To do the job properly, it's a tank out job, but there's nothing to stop you re routing them, as long as they're fixed securely.
Few feet of cunifer tube, female and male ends, and a decent flaring tool (i.e. NOT a cheap multi pipe size one) and the jobs easy enough. You don't have to replace the whole of the lines. Cut the pies under the car and join old to new with a single flare and double flare, plus a male and a female end.

Cheers Brian, decided against the car after my girlfriends old man ramped it and took a look.
Gotta find something cheap and economical now!
