Rear Brake Hoses

Post by DMC63 » Sat Jun 29, 2019 12:35 pm

I'm changing the flexible brake hoses. I've got the fronts. The rears have 2 flexible hoses on each side. One connecting to the caliper the other at the swinging arm to allow for the movement. I have the rear hoses that connect to the calipers.
I can't seem to find the hoses for the swinging arm connection.
I'm holding off from going to BMW until I've exhausted all aftermarket options. Any pointers to aftermarket hoses is greatly appreciated.

Hi if you google the part numbers from realoem you should find them all over the place . Check the schematic but I think you are referring to part 5 Brake hose - left 34306774341 & Brake hose - right 34306774342 ? and I found prices varied hugely, but like anything you tend to get what you pay for :thumbsup:

Yep, I think that's the hose. I'll have a look around for a decent one.

Thanks for your help.

You can get custom lines made up quite cheaply - even get one hose that replaces all three.

£25 a corner.
