Use a Renault clio (plastic wing model) or a mk1 golf gti servo

You will get more help in the engine swaps section

Alternatively, move the standard servo closer to the outside of the car, and connect it up with a shortened E34 pull rod.
It's all in the massive M50 swaps thread in the engine swaps forum!
