reproduction E32 rear SLS flexible hydraulic lines

[vwleadfoot]

NO ONE, NOT EVEN BMW, makes these lines anymore. They are NLA everywhere. Websites will say that they're available but they are not. Part numbers 37121137321 and 37121137322. (This is why I had them made) One SET of REAR Self Leveling Suspension hydraulic lines that go from the shocks to the accumulators. I had three sets made because I needed a set for my car. One of these sets is on my car and have been working perfectly for 6 months now. This listing is for one of two sets I have available. These have been made by a professional hydraulics shop that specializes in heavy equipment. They are rated at WELL above the factory pressure of 1800 PSI. The hose they are made from is rated at 3000 PSI. They have the proper bends for the left and right shock fitments and brackets and have custom machined end nuts with wrench fittings that are way larger and more sturdy than the chincy ones BMW put on these lines when they built the cars. (This means they won't strip after years of being on the car.) They also have the correct "bubble" crimping at the ends. These will likely be the last set of these lines you will ever need to buy for your car. If you're replacing your accumulators (bombs) due to a "bouncy" or sinking self leveling rear suspension you need these because the old lines often freeze in both the shocks and the bombs. The accumulators (bombs) are still widely available new. Send me an IM and I will send you pictures of them. The Bimmerforums website won't let me upload the ones I have. $400 per set shipped to the lower 48 from Maryland.

This is interesting. But I doubt anyone wants to pay $400 for lines….glws

[vwleadfoot]

Expensive? Sure. But they were expensive to make too. I needed a set and couldn't find them anywhere. If someone had gone through the trouble to make a set I would have bought them for $400 in a heartbeat rather than deal with the BS I did in making these. It's OK though, they'll just hang in my garage until someone else wants to save their SLS suspension like I did mine. And I gotta tell you, it's soooo nice to have it back and operational in proper form.

There are cheaper solutions (see link in my sig), but this is cleaner, and FWIW $200 a line was about what I was quoted by hydraulic shops as well.

They ARE making them again... the new part # is 37131133745 for the Left side... I don't have the rt side part # I bought OEM from ECS

[erachner]

Might you consider making a version for the EDC III SLS rear struts?

(For those unaware, the part #s for the original EDC III SLS pressure lines were 37131136869 and 37131136870 for left and right, respectively, as opposed to 37131137190 and 37131137136 for the non-EDC version.)

By the way, there were three different hose versions for the non-EDC cars. Click here for another discussion of this topic.

I have sold all of the sets I had. And yes, I got $400 for each set....
