Brake lines
So I just ordered brake parts for my car, including the BMW Performance Brake Kit. I started this morning to order from GetBMWParts.com but through a strange set of events, the price went up about $100 while in my cart along with a corresponding $100 shipping charge for a one-state hop. I ended up order from a Nebraska dealer and got them for just over $1100 shipped.
. I'm wondering if anyone has swapped in braided brake lines? I've dug around and found a mixed bag. I wrote Ben Liaw to see what he might have. Funny part is some folks list 4-lines, some list 6-lines ... confusing. Anyone running braided lines care to share what they have, that would be great. If Ben @ Rogue has them, I'll order from him since anything he does is well thought out. Thanks, Filippo Last edited by fmorelli; 04-22-2016 at 12:10 PM.. |

I have braided lines on my E46 and I had them on a Camaro I drove years ago... On the E46 there wasn't a massive difference, but the pedal was a little firmer. Small enough of a difference that the brake fluid flush I did at the same time could have done it. On my Camaro the difference was pretty significant. Based on only those 2 examples my thoughts would be to leave them alone unless they were coming off anyway and you could get them inexpensively. Often times you find specials where you get free braided lines with purchase of something else at UUC for example. BMW's factory installed lines are plenty strong that it's not a worthwhile upgrade otherwise. Your mileage may vary of course...
