It looks like a sealant of some type. I would clean that off, then monitor it to see if anything returns.

Thank you for your help |
I had the exact same problem on my 550i which has a similar model. If you trace the rubber lines, they go up to a metallic part which also is replaced most of the times by dealerships - which can be an unnecessary additional cost. So you should ask them to just do the rubber ones and you will be ok. I drove my car for another 20k miles after that and I had no issues again. It was a $600 repair in comparison to $2500 for getting the whole metallic pipes changed along with.
