Hi guys

I've exported my sport to Africa and parts are not as readily available as good old UK.
It's time to replace my master (input)/slave (output) cylinders
Parts numbers:
21 52 1 156 000
&
21 52 1 157 212/21 52 1 116 300

I have honed the cylinders and they are badly pitted, so rather than go to a bigger bore and new rubber kit, I'd rather buy new.

Question:
Are the above parts interchangeable with any later marque ie E36, or any other vehicle?

Cheers

Not really.

All BMW slaves are the same diameter bar M3 ones BUT they are specific to the generation of gearbox.

For an E30, E21 E34(maybe) and others of the same age you need an E30 style one.

Have you considered getting someone to send parts from the UK>?
