Any Recommendations for Braided Brake Hoses

[Baza]

I am upgrading the brakes on my E89 S Drive 3.0i and looking for Braided hoses any recommendations or experiences on manufacturers or suppliers .

Goodridge have been doing these for years for motorsport and domestic users Baza, excellent quality, Demon Tweeks might stock them for the E89. Earls are also a decent make.

+1for Earls. Replaced the clutch hose on my Breadvan and its very high quality.

for HEL, I've not used them on cars but I have fitted them on several bikes.
All their fitments come standard in stainless.

Well after a lot of chasing and waiting . Neither Hel ( no reply at all direct from Hel answer only through an agent) Goodridge or Earls have braided s/s hoses to suit E89's . Earls were the only one to offer a made to order service (subject to viewing) if I take my old lines in for them to copy. Which they would be interested in to give them a pattern for the future.

For E85/6 it doesn't seem a problem strange as the E89 came out in 2009 I would have thought by now they would have come up with some .
I will have to look in the USA as they seem to be available there.

You might find yours is compatible with E85/6. Check on realoem to see if the part codes for the rubber lines is compatible and if so you have your answer. If not i bet there isn't a huge amount of difference!
