So, I had these put in over the weekend (thax Eurorev!)
I really noticed a diff on my GS when I had my Lexus, but maybe BMW lines or tough enough as is - as I really didn't notice a very large difference between these and the stock lines.
Pedal feel feels about the same - but, pedal travel did decrease a bit.
Anyways, just wanted to send you guys a quick note on my experience with them.

I should clarify on why people buy stainless steel lines. The traditional rubber as you heat up the brake fluid and keep stepping on the brakes, the rubber hoses can start to swell -- get bigger, become softer, etc. So what the SS ones do is prevent that so you always have that solid pedal feeling.

Quick post review:
The lines are much more noticeable on the freeway!
You can really feel the difference in pedal feel on the freeway and pedal travel has significantly decreased as I had previously mentioned.
Overall - I think I would def recommend
