Which HEL brake lines??? 3.0i with 3.0si brakes

Post by JSz4 » Fri Aug 04, 2017 8:43 pm

I have a 2003 3.0i Z4 and recently bought a set of the larger 320mm front discs and calipers from a 330i which I believe came as standard on the later Z4 3.0si.

I was planning to replace the front brake lines for braided lines at the same time and was considering the £40 HEL front set (are there better alternatives?) but wasn't sure which set I needed as they sell a set for E85 2003 3.0 (BMW-6-631) and also a set for the E85 3.0 SE 2003-2005 (BMW-6-632). Any suggestions on which ones I need?

Cheers

Jeremy

I used HEL 3.0i ones when i did the conversions from memory but i think either will work tbh they should be the same threads etc just the 330i ones maybe a little longer :)

I wasn't that impressed with the HEL lines. Exposed threads and the clips needed filing to fit the lines.
