Solution to broken coolant return line

Just found that my 2nd replacement coolant overflow line grew brittle and disintegrated. You'd think BMW would figure out how to make this out of a material that's up to the job and BMW's reputation? Fed up with the OEM parts turning to dust, I came up with a simple replacement. Just went to the hardware store and bough some copper tubing. Used the existing rubber ends to secure it with hose clamps, and voila!, Problem solved! No more broken lines and leaking coolant!
