Also RHD versions of e90 have the lines on the left side of the car. In my case it was nearly impossible to fit brake lines on the right side (as far as I remember - they collided with throttle cable), so I bouht an RHD master cylinder; everything looks better, fits better.
If someone is interested - BMW f10 expansion tank/reservoir fits quite nice, straight from the box (with m52 throttle body - not sure if it will fit as good with m50 tb) - P/N 34 33 6 782 289:1 Photo

The rod is too long and the clevis is too wide. I guess you could shim for the width but the length will still be problematic.
I did not see a way to remove the rod on my E83 booster without taking apart the canister, the E90 should be similar. I drilled out a nut and tack welded it on the rod below the area to be threaded. This let me hold the rod steady for threading and I simply cut it off when done. I suppose vice grips could also work or maybe the right set up in a bench vice. It takes some creativity.

I've been told you can cut off the E90 booster fork and rethread it to accept a 34331150988 clevis/fork from some kind of euro E23/E28 I think?
Supposedly it is just longer than the E30 one. I ordered, but it's taking its time in shipping.Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30
