Source of Power Steering Hoses

[Beeker2 69]

I have 3x leaking power steering hoses on the E46 M3.

BMW have quoted $1k alone for the parts.

Is there a good source locally for alternative parts that are still quality, or internationally for OEM?

Or do i just sux it up?

Just seems like allotfor 3x pipes!

1k seems a bit steep. Might be best to order from overseas.

If you haven't seen this yet it might be worth a look

I've found that realoem prices seem to be about what they cost from US sellers

Careful buying steering components overseas. They may be LH drive

Just hoses? Would seem hard to believe that Enzed Hoses(?)/Hydraulink or someone similar can't make up at least OEM spec or better hoses for less than $330 a piece.

This is a good suggestion that I have used myself. I have had Enzed make up hoses. They have sometimes used the original hose end fittings and welded them to suitable fittings to crimp onto their hose. The replacements hoses have been cheap and effective.
