HEL Performance 4-Line Braided Brake Line Kit for BMW 3 Series E46 330i Sport 2000-2005
The kit replaces the four rubber brake hoses of a BMW 3 Series E46 330i Sport with hoses that have a PTFE core and a stainless braid, in the colour you choose. Rubber swells under pressure and the pedal feels soft. PTFE inside a braid swells less.

Where it is used
- On circuit cars, track days and sports builds, where a rubber hose swells under pressure and the pedal turns soft and hard to predict.
- The kit is made to match the standard hoses exactly, with the fittings crimped onto the hose at the factory, so it goes in where they were.
- The plastic cover protects the bodywork from scratches and wipes clean.
What is in the box
- The 4 hoses, with the fittings crimped on
- Stainless steel banjo bolts (depending on the model)
- Copper washers
- Fitting instructions
Hose colours
- Transparent leaves the stainless braid visible. Transparent Red, Transparent Blue and Transparent Purple are tinted, but the braid shows through.
- Black, White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Pink are solid colours, with no braid showing.
- Carbon has a carbon fibre look.
- The price is the same for every colour. The colour is picked on the page, before you order.
- The colour photos are illustrations: the hose is coloured from the manufacturer's official sample, and the kit in the photo is not necessarily the one in the box. The number and shape of the hoses depend on the car, and the shade on your screen may differ slightly.
Before you order
- HEL makes separate kits for each version of a model, with different part numbers. BMW-4-259 is for the 3 Series E46 330i Sport. If you are not sure of the version, message us your VIN on WhatsApp before you order.
- The kit photo is the manufacturer's and shows a set of four hoses. The one in the box is made for your car.
