    e30 m3 boot with e34 e brake handle?

    There are a few different leather emergency brake handles
    e36 m3
    e32
    e34

    I bought an e36 (non m) e brake handle off ebay.
    In the picture it was a leather one but what arrived was plastic handle and it was too short.

    I want to buy an e30 m3 leather emergency brake boot oem fitment
    and I want to buy what I believe is an e34 late model with large stitching that way the stitching of the ebrake and ebrake boot match perfectly.

    Can anyone confirm which e34 handle has the large stitching?




    E34 leather e-brake and e30m3 boot.



    Almost a perfect match

          Let us know if you figure this out, I really have to replace the rubber accordion one in the car, it looks horrible.

            As far as the e-brake boot, no doubt oem e30 m3 boot fits the best. imho.

            the handle I have (in the pictures above) is a tight fit.

              I'm looking of doing this upgrade too. Not to thread jack but does anyone know if an e36 e-brake boot will work?

                I pulled an e36 e-brake boot out of a car and the plastic base of the boot has an angled front. Ours are completely flat, so they won't work.

                  i bought an e36 emergency brake boot and ya it doesnt fit:hitler:

                  i bought an e30 m3 leather boot from namsayin hopefully it has no blemishes and it fits like a glove.

                    I have E30 M3 boot with E32 (7 series) leather handbrake handle of the same era and it's perfect.

                        Where might someone get said e30M3 leather e-brake boot? I quickly checked pelican and no dice on that one. Are any companies still selling the M3 boot or do you have to resort to the dealer? Thanks!

                          The E36 leather handle has large stitching underneath, looks kinda bush, the E34 has tight stitching and looks money. The first picture the OP posted was an E34. Both will work, you probably wouldn't even know the difference without looking at the bottom. The E34 is the one you want, if you want it to match the E30 M3 boot.

                              Are there any other boots that have similar stiching, either aftermarket or BMW? I tried to use an e34 brake boot, but the overall shape was wrong.
