          Part number for everything you need is in op. I did this few months ago and this was only write up I used. Read it again, everything you need is listed

                      hmm now I want one of these set up for no good reason. Question, instead of using hard lines, why not use flexible lines like this one?

                        I would think cost savings would be the motivator to use hard lines.

                          Use hard lines as much as possible. Even with steel braided flexible lines the handbrake felt mushy.

                            I am pretty sure, but to clarify, will I see any huge noticeable issues with my ABS or rear breaks the way I have my 96' M3 plumbed?

                            Its a 2 to 1 back to 2 inline setup.

                                This may sound idiotic, but seriously, park it crossways on an incline with the Driver side raised. Or... It may work to bench-bleed the master and re-install it.
