Brake line question

Popo · 05-15-2023, 10:11 AM

Hello everyone! I tried searching but I didn’t get relevant results. So I’m putting BMW’s BBK on my F30. As part of the upgrade, I reached out to Turner Motorsports and asked which stainless brake lines would work and they said Stoptech Stainless steel brake line set - F22, F30/F31/F32/F33/F34/F36, F8X. So I ordered them. Once I received them, I test fit one line each (one front and one rear) I’ve attached pics to show there is about 1/8ish of an inch between the caliper face and the nut portion of the brake line. Is this correct?? If not, anyone know which lines I need? I reached out to Turner but they’ve been radio silent. Thanks in advance!

Anyone?

The nut doesn't have to contact the caliper.
