    Where to get a 320i booster?

    I am looking for a 320i brake boster and wanted to know where the best place to get one is. I have checked some of the parts stores around here and nobody has one.
    I want to do an M50 swap and need it for the swap.

    Check wrecking yards in your area. Some may let you have one for a steal....only problem is you don't know how well it works until you try it and there's likely to be no warranty either.

      You can also buy a remanufactured one from the euro depot but its very expensive- like $220.

        I have checked the only ones around here that have BMW parts and they dont have any 320i's left.

          www.pullapart.com They have a yard in nashville, a little ways away from you.
          But junkyards would be your best bet or some of the E21 boards and find somebody parting out there car.

            there is a BMW yard in Chestnut Mound, TN. Its on 70N, halfway between Cookeville and Nashville. They have a ton of old BMW's. They are called Barnes Motor Werks, see iff they have any. I dont have a phone number, you will have to find that one out.

                  I've never been there heard from another TN bimmer owner it was an e30 graveyard. Supposedly over near Jasper area there is another huge BMW junkyard no one knows about. The guys from the dealership here went over there and got $2000 worth of parts for $100.

                    I've got a nice used one for $80 shipped.

                    I've also got a NEW BMW E34 525i oil pan, another important piece to the E30/M50 swap puzzle.

                    email or PM if you need either one.

                    Bret.

                      How much smaller is it compared to the stock e30's booster?
                      Is there any pics I can check out?

                        Thanks for the replies. I decided just to rebuild the m20 in the 325i since my 16 year old son will be driving it. I will save the swap for my Cabrio this summer. I will keep all the info handy when it comes time. I have the oil pan mounts and everything else just needed the booster. Ringmaster I might just take you up on the booster.
