Direct thread or Banjo, how do I tell?
Hi All:
Forgive me if this has been posted already, but I'm trying to figure out which of these two I have on my 2006, as I'm trying to get a rear kit to match my TCE front BBK.
I need to know if I have rear hoses with direct thread to the caliper or if I have
a banjo and banjo bolt on the end into the caliper body.
How exactly can I tell which I have?
Thanks in advance,
-Justyn

Banjo fittings usually have a bolt head with the line coming it perpendicular to the bolt. Direct thread have the line attached inline with a hex wrenching surface.
Banjo fittings are named for their resemblance to a banjo, a round open ring end with a perpendicular 'neck' which is the line itself.

My gut feeling is direct also. But I've seen banjos on later cars now as well. Seems BMW is sourcing two parts I guess.
Direct is just that: the rubber hose has a steel end and simply screws into the caliper on the side. The hex on the end of the hose is a M14 wrench.
Banjo has a steel end on it with a hex bolt and crush washers to seal it, passing into the caliper body. The banjo bolt will have a large hex head to it- perhaps M17 or M19 wrench needed.
