Top 3 pics OEM Pipes
They did not have plugs to work with BMW DCS and Master Cylinder so had to reuse OEM.
If I wanted to take stiff wire or coat hanger and bend to angles, they could make rigid pipe to fit.
Decided it wasn't worth the effort. Just had compression fittings placed on the OEM Piping.
Top 2 to DCS and Bottom 2 to Master Cylnder.
Put in flexible in between.
Have an idea to clean up top of DSC cosmetically down the road if I decide this bothers me.

Did anyone else end up doing this? Original user is banned it seems and I have a pre 7/2013 build, so its flexible brake line retrofit for me or bust!
