Stainless steel brake lines: Turner, ECS, Stoptech?

I am considering replacing OEM brakes lines with stainless steel brake lines at the same time when the brake fluid will be replaced.

Three choices under consideration: Turner, ECS, and Stoptech for my 2017 BMW 440i Gran Coupe RWD.

Any insights about either one of the three mentioned above? Other choices?

Im not familiar with all of them, but those new blue coated Turner ones look very nice and what I would probably choose.

Thanks for the feedback. My first choice at the moment is ECS. Turner stainless steel lines are $20 more.

My friends and I have used Stoptech. They've been making brake components for a very long time compared to ECS.

Ok I have to ask. Ive read the benefit of going stainless steel lines. Its such a inexpensive thing so why doesn't BMW do this right out of the factory

All three will do the same job. ECS/Turner inflate their prices so I'd wait for a sale if you are set on one of them. I've had the StopTech's installed for a year. High quality, great fitment. Only $106/ set of four.
Swap out your rotor screws for ECS/Turner stainless steel screws. One per rotor. Well worth it to avoid rusted screws freezing your rotors on the hub which happens all of the time. Happened to me at only 15k miles.
