    Are you running factory lines right now? The majority of the aftermarket SS lines are already M3 length.

    I believe the fronts are factory but I’d have to double check my purchase history


    I would also assume that the brake lines aren’t model specific (i.e. 330i body and 135i calipers and utilizing E46 M3 lines)

    Yes, the lines are definitely longer. I am running 135 calipers with stock 330 rotors. I think my lines are from ECS. I will check my log and let you know what lines I have.

    I ordered these prior to checking back in for any updates here. You’re saying these won’t be long enough?

    I am nor sure. The link that you sent shows different ECS part number. The link that I sent you, is the part that I have installed on my car and it works great.
    You can probably call ECS and check the length for both parts.

    Yeah, the lines and pads I ordered aren’t shipping out until 24th so I could call and check.


    The ones I ordered were Turner zinc coated lines with lower profile hardware. They “appear” to be the same length as the ones you linked.

    I called ECS today to see if the lines I have ordered are longer than OE: the customer service rep said and I quote “we don’t sell any brake lines that are longer than OE lines”


    The ones I ordered are TMS ones, so I’ll call the Monday to see what they say.
