    Where are you buying your Brake Boosters?

    Being a tech I get most of the parts I need through Worldpac, IMC, SSF, or the dealer, however obtaining a new 320i brake booster for a reasonable price is next to impossible. My cost on one is around $800, retail is close to $1100.
    Have you guys been buying wrecking yard units for use in your swaps or what?

    I just found this (I'm also new). Looks well worth it if you can't find anything else.

      If those guys can sell it for a profit at that price I know I can get it cheaper elsewhere, my guess is wrecking yards.

          Out of curiosity I punched in brake booster for an 81 320i on autozone, and it shows a remanufactured one for $108. Might be worth a looksy.

            Good luck with that...

            Junkyards here in AZ seem to be lacking in older BMW's...
