Order from your BMW dealer, or buy a roll of suitable sized cunifer and make your own. Dealer supplied one costs a bit more but is easier to fit!

I was told by my local dealer that the fuel pipes are unavailable

Your dealer is wrong, I got new ones for the Baur last year. If local dealer no help, talk to Lee at BMW Park Lane who will sort it, PM me for details or see herehttp://www.bmwe21.net/forum/viewtopic.p ... ne#p144998

Wouldn't surprise me. They are only interested in modern stuff.

Would you remember how much they were?
