Don't think so as APs use a banjo fitting.

As Nathan said, AP use a banjo fitting to the caliper.

BMW has it's own connector, you can see it here, Part No 6, can't remember the exact fitting type off the top of my head:

I do not think that my rear hoses are braided. Derek can you send me a link and price on an AP rear braided hose if you are getting one (two).

No probs. One company is contacting AP for price and another providing a price to make them.

If its just a rear hose for a std M3 caliper non AP, they are only around £20 ea, I get them from HEL.

The rears don't use banjo fittings Derek. I might have a couple of unused spares at home. Sitting in the departure lounge at the moment in the US en-route home so will check when I'm back if you want?
