Hi I have recently put an m50b25 into my e30 and hit a few small problems! Just wondering if any of you could help me out?

The inlet is touching the brake servo?

Also there is hardly any room for the water pipe?

If any one could help me out or give me some tips on how to solve these problems would be much appreciated!

You need a smaller servo, (from a clio)
and you need to trim the pipe

There's more than one way of overcoming both these problems. The standard servo can be moved to the left, using a longer (E34) pull rod to operate it, and the pipe can be rotated 180 degrees, if the locating tab is removed at its other end.
