540i Brake Master Cylinder

Hi all,

I have a 1994 E34 540i which has a brake master cylinder that is leaking slightly (and holding up my MOT).

Oddly enough, the brake master cylinder (34311163924) is NLA.

My only options seem to be:
 

  • Find a used one (which has proven difficult)
  • Rebuild the existing unit.


There are rebuild kits online by FRENKIT and I have a US Forum member who clarified a few gasket and seal sizes, but not sure where to go from here.

Are there any rebuild companies in the UK (only moved here a few years ago) or any forum members have any E34/E32 breaking cars which have a compatible unit

Thanks in advance!

I saw your post on Bimmerforums and then inevitable brain fart replies by AlanG and co.😂

 

You may find the leak is from where the plastic reservoir meets the alloy cylinder. This can be cured by using a cable tie to compress the reservoir down into the cylinder. I've had this in the past and new seals never cures it.
