braided hose is all junk AFAIK, you want only the good german rubber FI rated hose now...
if you have a BMW dealership nearby im sure they can get it for you, as others always mention this when these discussions come up.
my local VW parts plce had plenty of this in stock when I checked, but if you need to order it id just go to germansupply.com and order it from Scott.
he has the kit with all of the hose already cut in all of the needed lengths, or you can just order it by the meter:
