Hi at the weekend the rear n/s brake line split apparently common fault where water builds up and corrodes the pipe. Had it fixed yesterday by a local garage but he mentioned that all the lines need replacing as they are all showing signs of severe corrosion. I'm in the East Midlands can anyone recommend a specialist as i don't even want to try a quote from BMW as it will be laughable
) Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Had mine done at BMW too.
Problem with going to an Indy for brake lines is that they can be lazy - I have seen it where they ran the lines over the top of the dust cover / trays just because it was quicker than taking the covers off. Also, when they make their own lines, you have no guarantee of the quality.
