Can anyone tell me why the ix needed to have the booster it has? What is different about the ix braking system than other e30s?

Its a smaller diameter dual-diaphragm booster instead of the larger diameter single diaphragm booster that comes in the rwd car. And yes I believe it's for engine clearance because of the different tilt in the IX vs rwd.
That's why it's also common for 24v swaps.
The master cylinder bore and calipers are the same between the models. The only differences are the IX has higher offset rear rotors (fronts are the same) and the abs has a special "ice mode".

The tilt is the same. I remember reading about this some time ago and no one really knows why it uses a different booster.My Garage
