Hello,

Has anyone change OEM break lines and break fluids on the 535i. Does it make a big break difference to add stainless steel and change fluid?

I had my stainless steel break lines from stop tech installed for me. Use Modul 600 fluid. The difference is the pedal is always at the top. The breaks in your car are excellent but this upgrade stops the line expansion and provides consistency repeatedly.

I had SS lines in my M3 and really liked the pedal feel and instant response of the brakes. I just bought SS lines for my 545, they are going in with my Dinan CAI, throttle body etc

I did it on my old car and the brake is abit more solid not as spongy feel.
I will be changing my LCI 1s in years time too.
