    For my E36 rack with the M50, I used the stock E30 lines from the fluid reservoir down to the rack, just shortened them and replaced the clips with hose clamps. For the line from the pump to the rack, I used the E36 line from a junkyard car. Took some creativeness to get it to fit in there correctly, but it did fit, without any bending.

        ^^yeah same here regarding the e36 line. i basically had to make sure the metal portion of the hose, on the pump side, wasn't touching anything. I held it in the right position as a tightened the banjo bolt. the bent metal portion looks kind of funny the way it is sitting but it gets the job done.
