Too darn funny, Arde!
Depending upon how much hose you need, try a BMW dealer. Sometimes their stuff is scary expensive, sometimes not.

If you are referring to the steel brake and fuel lines then www.wallothnesch.com have them at very reasonable prices. 19.00 Euros for a 5 meter roll of steel fuel line and 47.00 Euros for a complete set of steel brake lines for the entire car.

Has anybody used "Cunifer"? It is an alloy of copper, nickel, and iron. It appears to be highly resistant to corrosion and easier to bend than mild steel. I also will not work harden like stainless.

For fuel line, hit a place that serves the VW aftermarket. They sell the FI rated hose with the textile weave cover, I think I payed about $6 a meter last time I bought it. You can also get the blue weave brake hose from them.
For brake lines, hit a Knecht's or Autozone, they sell the euro double flare with appropriate thread ends in straight lengths you can bend to fit. Also not expensive.

It's good stuff I have used it for fuel lines (8mm dia)
However it is harder to work than the copper brake piping commonly used in the UK.

I bought some steel brake lines from www.wallothnesch.com. Exactly the right length. The security people at the Frankfurt airport thought they looked a little strange on the X-ray machine.
