Overview
HEL Performance braided brake lines replace the factory rubber hoses on the BMW E46 M3, providing a firmer and more responsive brake pedal feel. Under hard braking, OEM rubber hoses can expand, creating a ‘spongy’ sensation and reducing confidence. With stainless steel braided construction and a protective PVC coating, HEL brake lines eliminate this expansion, ensuring precise and consistent braking performance whether on the road or track.
