Does anyone know how much a full set of fuel lines for a 525 cost and where I can get them from? would it be cheaper to get them fabricated? and is it financially viable to change all fuel lines? I just had to have a corroded line repaired and been advised all lines are in varying levels of corrosion. Its a 1990 M20 auto.

I had a 525i on a G plate that had similar issues.
From the stealer, the pipes round/over and away from the tank came to £115 inc all fittings.
front to rears are relatively easy to make yourself.
Biggest bitch I think would be gettin the tank out to do the tricky ones

Removing the tank is not a bad job TBH, you can swop the pipes out without fully removing it too.

thanks for all your help so far, I will hopefully be getting the lines sometime in the next couple of weeks and get it done! I'm just a bit miffed coz I had car recovered a couple of days ago coz it was spewing motion potion out and cost a small fortune for a patch up job!
