Hi men!

Where could I find stainless steel braided brake lines for E60 ?
Better in EU, but also in US ...

Thank you!

I think Bavarian Auto has them. Try www.bavauto.com
You will likely need to call them. I checked their website and they don't come up, although I think I have seen them in their print catalog.

Yep.

Remember to add to the price VAT (at Italian rates) and possibly custom duties (2-10%) for non-EU originating goods, if customs decide to play by the rules.

For fitting time/cost, I hope they will change them (brake lines and racing oil) for free, because of replacement of my brakes with M5 brakes ..



and performance afterwards. I'm tempted...
Ok, I'll try to go on the track as soon as possible
