      @@nextzz2583 I guess only for the more modern cars equipped with ABS due to considerably higher pressure in the lines, comparing to older cars. As far as I know it started with manufacturer technical note for Fiat Stilo which explicitly forbidded using copper brake lines due to possible tear caused by high pressure and followed by that, TUV technicians has started to give negatives for ABS equipped cars with copper brake lines. Of course it is worth to check what are the regulations regarding this in Belgium, but from technical point of view I doubt if this is a problem for e28.

      @@nextzz2583 you can always use heat shrink tubes to cover copper lines. Thats what we do. It also looks more eyepleasing overtime. Because copper lines tend to get green over time. heat shrink tubes prevent that. #ProTips

    Some great work on this car, I'm sure the work you have done will keep it running for another 35 years. I've really enjoyed following it, well done..
    Just FYI please be aware you must be careful with polyurethane rear trailing arm bushes as they do not allow the lateral movement that is required of the arm through suspension travel. I know people who have fitted these which has resulted in badly damaged bushes, failure of overstressed pitman arm links and have even bent the tabs that the trailing arms mount to on the subframe. I purposely stayed with OEM rear trailing arm bushes on my E34, but I did use the yellow subframe mounts.

    The cheapest way to replace brake lines is to bend them around a socket wrench. I did just that and didn't kink them once. It is also easier if you buy the correct length from the beginning, with the nipples already installed. Saves a bunch of time and makes it easier! Great Video!

    When I do brake lines I use what we call Kunifer line here in the UK. Its a copper nickel alloy. It's more corrosion resistant and stronger than the copper alloy and easier to work with than steel line. I hate doing brake lines - but you might as well replace the lot. I'm surprised it has any original lines at that age.
