    E32 master cylinder

    Does the E32 master cylinder only fit ABS cars? My 84 master cylinder has 3 brake lines going into the MC while the 7 series one has only 2.

    You would need to put a tee in the line to split it.

    I would not recommend the 25mm master though, it's not an upgrade at all.

      Ya did some more research and came to the same conclusion. Would a reman'd MC from a local parts store outperform a "non-leaking" used MC?

        Really? I swapped it on to my 1990 which is still an M20 and I love the pedal feel!

          I guess it's just a matter of personal preference. The extra effort required to do hard braking wasn't worth it to me. After a 20min track session my right foot and leg were exhausted and by the end of a track day I could barely walk straight. lol.

            I've got a 735i booster and MC and like it. I didn't bench bleed it so there's air in the lines somewhere that I can't figure out, but when the pedal hardens up it seems fine. Supposedly they have a bit more rear bias as well which is also nice.

              The 735i MC is most likely 23,8mm vs 25,4mm for the 750iL.

              People wanting to go a bit bigger, but not all out, and with a non-ABS car (3 brake lines) can use a 1989-1990 Porsche 944 S2 23,8mm MC

              Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

                  Would the brand of booster matter when using the 944 MC?

                    Any more info on this? I'm looking for a decent upgrade on my M10 car.
