      I've got an extra e34 540i booster here, was going to use it but it seems to me the following modifications would need to be made to get a good fit.

      -e30 ix or e32 735 bracket...which would mean....extending the rod.
      -Re-drilling the firewall to match the back of booster (2 bolts instead of 4)

      For the master cylinder, the connection on the end needs a larger nut than the e30 has, so either custom brake line or modify existing.

      The remote reservoir on this doesn't appear to have a nipple for the clutch (this one came off auto) may have to run sepeate clutch fluid reservoir.

      Now these are just theories i've had by examining it, maybe some of the guys that have used it can chime in :) Maybe i'll end up using it with some good info hehe.

          Where did you mount the reservoir?

          Did you use the stock one or make your own?
