I have a 89 525i which I'm in the process of chaning out the fuel lines. On the supply and return in the engine bay I needed a little over 4 feet for each line, supply and return.

From the Tank to the filter and such under the car and in the rear i haven't changed those yet, I ordered more line for that. So that should give you alteast the engine compartment idea.

All the hose on my car is 8mm which I have ordered from pelican parts, they sell it per meter at a reasonable price. Also if the hose clamps look rusted, spend a few $$ and replace them all with good quality EFI clamps.

I changed out the rear lines also, they were dated late 1988 which makes sense because my car is a 1989, and let me tell you they were cracked and ROCK solid, that was kinda scary. I used all of about 4 1/2 feet total in the rear, I though the runs were going to be longer than that, but they were not. I also changed the fuel filter while I was there, and replaced the hose clamps because quite a few of them where one time use clamps.
