Stainless steel braided brake lines
Has anybody put stainless steel braided brake lines on an E61? Goodridge and Stoptech make lines for the RWD E60's, but nothing for the AWD wagon (apparently our rear brake lines are unique to all other E60/E61 cars?).
I checked tirerack.com, and they show the same Goodridge kit for the E61 as for the E60, but I called Goodridge, and they clarified that the kit would not fit the wagon.
I'm considering getting custom lines made, but would prefer to buy something off-the-shelf if possible. Does anybody have any experience with this?

Hmmm... Have you checked the brake lines for both cars on RealOEM? That might give you an idea too if they definitely won't fit if you see different part #'s.
PS UUC supposedly makes lines for the E61... Found it just by googling. SSBL-4-615T

Thanks! I completely forgot about UUC. Yes, it looks like they do make a SS brake line kit for our cars. Nice.

I talked to Dave Zeckhausen earlier today, and he checked the parts lists to confirm that the brake lines on a wagon are different than other E60s.
