I ended up using the stock e30 high pressure hose and a e36 318 low pressure line (pump to rack) with a '95 M3 rack, which I believe has the same hose configuration as the Z3 rack.

E34 compatible???
Hello!
Today i bolted the engine with the tranny(both e34) on the subframe. When i raised the subframe with the engine it didn't line up to the bolts it seems that it has to go a little to the back but it doesn't because the tranny touch the firewall protection(that black material)! What should i do? HELP me please....

Are you using E36 engine mount arms?
Are you using E28 m5 motor mounts or E28 533i mounts (require slight spacer for most people though)
You need both. If you are trying to use the E34 engine mount arms that is why I'd think it wouldn't line up at all. Also make sure you have the motor mounts aligned correctly:

I have a few questions, doing an s50 swap
1. can you use urethane e28 535i motor mounts?
2. can you use e30 trani mounts if your using the getrag 260? if so, is it okay to have solid aluminums.
3. i have a front strut bar, am i okay putting the motor and trani in as one with this there?
thanks

Hello!
I fixed it! It was that protection the black thing. I took it off and now it is ok!
Thank you for your answer!

I found an e32 735i brake master cylinder/booster assembly for about $100. Couldn't you just use it, and no modifications for the s50 swap? If not, what are my options. Right now I have an ix booster and master cylinder assembly, what else do I need? Dont I have to swap out the master cylinder for an e28 m5 one or something else? Should I buy the e32 735i bmc/b assembly and combine the two, would that work? Cuz a new e28 m5 bmc is $200 or so.
