You could probably make one up, although why would you want to?

When I replaced my clutch lines, I didn't wanna pay BMW the Ԛ£60 odd quid for the proper one so I made one up using the rear brake flexi hose from a 205 1.9 GTi, some copper brake line and the relevant M10x1 brake fittings.

Seems to work fine :)
