The online parts guide on here bmw fans or real OEM is a good place to start, it's very much what the dealer uses and if one does not state the sizes the other will.

Just tap in the last 7 digits from the chassis (VIN) number and way you go...

Nigh on all of it is still available from the main dealer, for less than you think and it DOES last longer than motor factors stuff so it's been said on here.

I used aftermarket fuel hoses bought by length and made of NBR/PVC rubber mixture 8mm inner diameter, and they are fine... It cost about 2€ / meter....
