For those running the IX booster.

^^ ... do away with the bracket.

mount the booster directly to the wall by drilling new holes in the firewall (coat with rostoleum to prevent rust)
measure twice, cut and weld the piece that goes to the brake pedal.

voila, resevoir fits right behind the intake boot. its what i did.

I thought of that earler today but in order for me to pull the booster I need to remove the intake or pull the motor I think.
is there another way to get it out??
Im going to work on it now....

[etxxz]

it would REALLY help to have the intake manifold off but you can do it with it on....i guarantee that you'll be putting the booster in and out to test fit atleast 10 times. removing the intake manifold should be easy for you tho


make sure that:
-your brake pedal is aligned with the gas pedal after bolting the booster down.
-that you don't damage the booster diaphragm by heating the rod too much when welding.
-you don't strip/brake the brake line/fittings and MC threads (happened to me)

I think I got a idea so we will see if ti works out.
if not then Im out a brake booster and will just figure something else out.

That will do the trick!!!

Thats what I used!

MR 325, thanks for the pic. !

dude8383, e30this:
21521163714 x 2 looks like the hose (7.5 x 13, 130$ is for 5 metres)

34 32 1 103 065 yields “STRAINER WITH FLOAT”…
Did this come as complete reservoir with level switch etc in lid?
Other possibly relevant parts: 34 32 1 112 399 reservoir
34 32 1 153 156 cap with warning switch

Did you get grommets and elbow connectors at same time:
34 31 1 121 911 – grommets in 2002 hose to MC (is correct fit to e30 and other MC's?):
34 32 1 102 282 - Elbow connectors (see in MR 325 picture) - get from dealer?

[dude8383]

I don't know what you guys are talking about...

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...08&hg=34&fg=25

Why would you need 5 meters of line??



Thats the reservoir:

[Black_E30]

LOL - I was just following up on e30this's question about the $130. BMA parts search yeilds an entire 5m spool, not the not the seven dollars worth you actually need...

[e30this]

My parts should be getting dropped off by the dealer today.
we will see.
Did you get your stuff yet dude8383??
