Never use copper pipe. There is a copper alloy available, which is safe. Safe in that it doesn't burst, but it isn't as strong as, and also does expand more, than traditional brake lines.
Brake lines have been corroding for ever, I think the issue here is just that most BMWs under discussion aren't old enough that it should be an issue yet.
