Hi Folks,

A quick one for all you lovely people - are fuel pipes bought from a BMW dealer supplied with the bends in them already or do you have to make them fit yourself?

Appreciate your help!

Pre-formed, I think, but I've never bought any.

The ones I bought recently from BMW were pre bent.

Even some of the flexi fuel pipe hoses from BMW are pre-formed - I once had to buy one for an E30 that fitted to the fuel filter ahead of the nearside rear wheel, after it developed tiny pin-holes, leading to weird handling as it sprayed fuel onto the rear tyre. :eek:
