SS brake lines for M Z4?
I plan to upgrade my stock rubber brake lines to SS lines.
I am not sure if we have the same brake lines on M Z4 as E46 M3 with competition pkg or M3 CSL. They all should have the same brake systems ,but i am not sure about the brake lines. Can anyone confirm this? |

I have Stoptech lines on my car. They fit like a champ.

Thanks for the info!
That is exactly i need to know. Is your brake pedal noticeably firmer after installing the SS line and racing brake fluid change? |

There is, but TBH, for normal street use it's not a huge difference.
On the track, when things heat up (fluid especially) there's a definite difference.

No, it won't make your pedal feel more firm. The difference will be a more consistent pedal feel after the brakes and fluid get hot. If you don't track the car, I wouldn't recommend messing with the brakes.

PS: I just installed my StopTech SS lines,and replaced old brake fluid with ATE Superblue this morning. My clutch and brake pedals actually felt smoother for street driving. |

Does anyone if a complete 6 line set is available for the Z4M ??? UUC makes them for other models but nothing listed for Z4M.

I ordered off the part #'s that Zeckhaussen listed, but only got 4-piece line kit? What's the 5th and 6th line for? Anyone have the part #'s to these?

UUC kit is 6 lines. There are two separate "soft lines" in the rear.

Parts 5 & 11 are the "soft" lines, although part 5 has a partial hard line and then a soft rubber line. Call UUC for the MZ4 lines. I don't think they list it on the website because, well, there's really only limited application for it. If you want it, I can sell you mine (although one of the rear lines has a small scuff on it and a little bit of the outer layer was worn away from the scuff).

I ordered through JSW, using these part #'s from Zeckhaussen:
F- 950.34001 R- 950.34523 But those #'s only came with 4 total lines. I need the #'s for the extra 2 lines for the rear setup? Hack, what do you mean by parts 5 and 11? I'm totally confused... I was wondering about StopTech part #'s? |

Yes.
The OLD Stoptechs used to only replace the one soft line at the caliper. The NEW Stoptechs replace all three with one long line. The new rear line should measure ~26"
