    Not a BMW but last winter some of the guys on here witnessed the Snapsquatch blow the line on my camry. I drove it 4 miles home. Brakes "worked" but it was more or less nothing for 90% pedal travel then locking the front wheel that last 10%

    And for the record i blew the lines on the accord i borrowed from my inlaws while repairing the camry......the lines burst less than 1/4 mile from their house

    Note to self: brakes will be fine as long as you don't let snap drive it.

    I will just go with a hydro attached to my locking oe handle. That saves a bunch of thinking. Any recommendations? I will pay for a quality one.

      Once you figure out a setup that maintains the OE handle, let me know=) I have wanted to do that setup but never took the time to plan it out
