If you want to do yourself, you can, I just don't remember the line thickness. I've seen people post about doing it themselves. Very common on all BMW in the snow belt.
I stand corrected.

I could see the rears being problematic, especially if you don't have access to a hoist....but the fronts don't look like they'd be that daunting of a task? The 2 mains off the master cylinder look easy enough; the intermediate front pipes as well....

Personally im not a fan of splicing in new sections. It just adds more pieces to corrode down the road.
