Dom, installed by my mechanic, no doubts installed correctly.
Awaiting for second reply from BD now.

What worries me, after digging deep in research - there may be some issue that most braided hose manufacturers dont take in account. Most of them list 2 versions of hoses: 16' cars and 17' cars.
My research though proven there are 3 variations of front flex hoses used in our cars:
30681723 - for 2WD cars and 15-16' wheels
30681724 - for 320mm calipers or AWD with 16'
30681725 - for AWD with 17'

attaching ATE specs as per OEM numbers if anyone wants to cross-check.

It makes me wonder now if my car as usual stands out and 30681725 part being used ONLY in this and s40 AWD is the case of the whole issue.
Again - checking BD's database there are only 2 available options of hoses fitting "all cars with 16" and "all cars with 17".

I will measure the lenght of the ripped hose and compare to ATE spec, that will tell me something.
