I have a sneaking suspicion that the E92 (and other) rear plate bracket 51187160607 might do the job as BMW has kept spacing the same for a long time. Maybe someone could measure it as pretty much every person that imports a Euro car has to deal with mounting the rear plate, which can be a PITA.

You might want to try a 25mm Master Cylinder found on the e32. It doesn't "improve" braking, but it gives it a much better feel.
If I'm searching for the part number on realoem, can I just say I have an 88 7-series and it'll give me the right part number? Alternatively, does anyone have the part number? I'm assuming this will just bolt up to the existing brake booster?
When I replaced the pads/rotors and bled the brakes, the performance definitely improved, but I've never been able to trigger the ABS. Even when I bedded in the pads. Could that have anything to do with my spongy/mushy brakes? Yes, I searched 'mushy brakes' on here and all the threads are inconclusive on the ultimate problem.
Not Mtech body parts, it looks like you just have a "is" lip and side skirts.
Yeah, I guess I knew they were "is" parts, didn't know if any of that crossed over to the MTech stuff. Speaking of, are there better/smaller steering wheel options? Mine feels enormous.
Theres a group buy for some Mtech replica fabric around on here somewhere.

Here's mine. Acquired in Feb '16 from the UK. Fortunately, I'm left handed or learning to drive stick would have been a much bigger challenge. I still look to the right when look for the rear view mirror.
Thus far, I've replaced the suspension with Bilstein B12 (same in my M3), rebuilt the brake system (still not where I like it), and detailed the crap out of it. 26 years of neglect was not kind to the paint.
It'll be a Vintage in Asheville next month.
I have no idea if I have MTech II or any of that crap. I do know I need to recover the seats. So, if anyone has a line on MTech replica cloth, let me know!
