M50 swap that will blow your mind.

[MWC]

Is this booster going to work the S54? Isn't there even less clearance there than with an M50 based engine?

Going to be doing this very soon, but on s54.

Will the M52 reservoir fit directly on the E90 master? What other reservoirs are options. The ones that come with the E9X boosters are tilted.

I don’t think it’s a big deal. The shop That I do some work in, they did it and just raise the reservoir upwards to clear the tps on the throttle body. You can probably find plastic fittings at your local auto parts store, put them in the master cylinder and then run soft lines to the reservoir

Yes the tabs are for clutch line. Cut one open and put the stock clutch line to it.

I already bought mine, but also ln m52 the resevoir is on way. I'm trying to find fine that is not remote one.

I have sold all of my pins. I am going to make more. If you are interested please message me and I’ll get you a price.

I’m thinking it might have sat in brake fluid from when it was removed and waiting on the shelf. When i got it it was covered in brake fluid, i’m going to try it and if it’s no good, i’ll just grab another one from ebay.

Ok cool.

Hmmmm that does look strange. Use your discretion on it. If you don’t trust I then return it and get another one.

I got my booster couple days ago, and noticed this. Should i be concerned? It also looks like it was opened at some point because the little tabs that hold the halfs together seem to have the paint chipped off at the bend point. Tag says “ 06 330CI” what you guys think?

Mine is pre-airbag....1988....although the pedal cluster is from another car, as it was originally an automatic. Perhaps the pedal cluster is from a newer car.

Noshow, I couldn't figure out why you had to lengthen the pin, as I did not have to on my install. But then I realized you are using the original booster rod and end. I found the length a bit too long for my car, with no free-play. A few test drives made it clear the pedal was too high, so I cut the end off, threaded, and put on the stock e30 end. This allowed some adjustment to fine tune the length to where the pedal had just enough movement before engaging. (1/4" or so). How has your install been with regard to pedal height?

The pedal height was the same between the oem booster and the e9x booster. I mean exactly the same place. Is your car a airbag car? I don’t think it would make a difference but I’m curious.

seems an easy thing to do... I'm not very keen on brake lines.. all we need is some sort of adapter?

Yes. I have the pictures posted up with the part number

I edited the OP to clear up some info on the e9x booster setup.
