                  Is this 1" or 2" smaller diameter than the stock m20 booster ?

                    Its a little over 1" smaller, its similar to the XI booster, except its not as deep, and the master is shorter as well.

                      And inspired by this thread, I also got myself e90 booster. 50€ from ebay and in like new condition. Going to install that to my car next winter when the driving season ends here.

                      But well. Some people even like the boosterless setups and I personally think that those are the most horrible thing to have...
                      Hi Pazi, which booster exactly you bought? I saw a couple from e92 320d but i guess their master cylinders would differ as well.

                      And do you think this will work in RHD?

                      Thanks

                        Don't know about RHD. But I think mine was from 320D. The same booster and master is used in high variety of cars: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/par...&q=34336785664
                        So there are plenty of cars to choose the booster from. All same.

                        The master in these is 25.4/22.2 mm. Only the 316-318 came with different master which is 23.81/22.2 mm. Don't know which master works better. The smaller one may be better match to e30 stock brakes because of the size relation between front and back circuits is closer to e30 original. But I will use e38 4-pot brembos which came with 25.4 master also.

                            My M52 is running a single stage Audi brake booster, but this may be a good upgrade (my pedal is pretty hard).

                                Update update update. Take a look at the first page and see the update, I put down everything that you need to do the e9x booster swap

                                Thank you.
