12x17 booster hose, you can get it with the BMW markings from the dealer
Bmw markings?
I received from the dealer a metal reinforced hose with black textile weave cover. No markings though!
But it looks real neat
Quality and price are OK, so you really don't need to look for a replacement hose, according to me.

Stefan,
Your new hose matches the original with the cloth covering. When ordered from a dealer here we get the plain rubber reinforced hose, wonder if they have changed?

according to BMW it can only be ordered from Germany.
that's not really acceptable. any idea where i can find
this 12x17 brake booster hose? :confused:
12x17 is a common size, it should be available almost anywhere without the BMW logos. If you want the logos or the cloth covering, order from the dealer.

i went to the dealer and they gave me a vacant stare.
then he said he gotta get the old car parts specialist...
i told him it's for a 69 2800cs... and he confirmed saying it's for a 4 door sedan, right?
:confused:
anyway...they said they don't have anything like it...
not even parts for a 635csi...and that's the dealer
i was like 'you guys suck furball'
On my E12 six series, I used fabric covered hose from BAP. Probably VW. I then found an appropriate size door spring and reinforced the hose so it wouldn't collapse from vacuum. Total cost?? Way under $10
