Stop SHOUTING.

Essentially yes, they are the same brakes - Granada calipers with solid discs. 390SEs and bigger got vented discs, I think late 350i's did as well but as the only difference is wider calipers that doesn't explain the pricier pipes. Certain models got 4-piston calipers, they may well be more expensive as the calipers might run twin lines, but that wouldn't usually apply to the 350i.

For what its worth, Goodridge lists XTV-8160-B as the correct steel brake lines for a 350i, the Tasmin 280 has a different part number.
