On E36's, the hoses are 1/2" ID. Use transmission hose rated for high pressure applications and you can replace the original hoses for about $10. Cut the original crimp off, but not into the barb, and slip the new hose on with another worm clamp.

The process should be the same on the X5. A little better way that using the old hoses.
