Stainless Steel Brake-lines
Why didn't BMW include these as standard equipment? If they are worried about crack or bending could they just wrap them in plastic like the after-market ones (i.e. SST) to reduce the risk of fraying from rubbing that BMW might be worried about? These types of lines run about $100 for front and rear lines and everyone who has ever done this upgrade has said it makes a big difference in pedal feel. If it does and its such a small expense, couldn't BMW just add $100 or so to the MSRP and throw them on?
Is there some downside to upgraded steel performance break-lines that I am unaware of that BMW is aware of other than money that has led them to avoid them? Thanks for in advanced to anyone who chimes in!!! Cheers, e46e92

BMW has gotta put the brakes on somewhere to control the costs. I think they also know people who are serious trackers will mod the brakes anyhow.
I ordered some and will put on in the spring. I am pretty sure neither the M5/M6 have SST brake lines. They certainly do have better brakes. |
