Saab or Volvo 740/760 unit should be slim enough
Other options are fit one horizontally and dust some air too it, RX7 and Supra style iirc
some trimming required but it will go in

Re: Brake Upgrade Kit ......
7 series E32 master cyl a must have on this I'd suggest
std m/cyl will work but long pedal bigger piston area means the m/cyl needs to displace more fluid per stroke to be an effective upgrade

Check the breather system Simon, Fooked cyclon valve will behave as described. BMW DIS will show a code for excessive crankcase pressure as the tension on the PCV valve goes up but Snap On and most aftermarket scanners don't list it A gurgling dipstick tube is another give away Hope ya well :thumb:

assuming nothing concrete came back on a diagnostic put a new ignition switch on there, you'll be amazed how many gremlins this can cure.
I stress the word NEW, no recoding required , easy 1 hour DIY affair.
