Hi guys...
The brake master cylinder on my M3 has failed leaving a very soft and long pedal...Not good... What's worse is that the seal repair/service kits are NLA and a new cylinder is £670 +VAT!! Does anyone know where I can get one from at a more realistic cost? Alternatively I would be looking to get my existing one rebuilt or perhaps fit an aftermarket cylinder...Anyone done this or have any recommendations? |

C3BMW sell the 25mm 'big bore' master cylinder, gives a firmer pedal feel than standard too.
I can't believe the price BMW want for a new one........ |

Thanks, Sporty...I found this, too....and their cylinder @ £199 includes VAT and also includes a replacement brake pipe as the 25mm (7 series) cylinder has 2 x 10mm thread connections where the E30 M3 (23.8mm) one has 1 x 10mm and 1 x 12mm.
It's also an ATE o/e spec...definitely cheaper than main dealer even for that item!! Gonna be ordering one today, I reckon. |

I wouldn't buy a used one of unknown origin. But hell, it's just for the brakes, nothing important.... Edited by UweM3 |
