TRW PML 364 brake master cylinder for E39 TRW will work well in the e39 ?

[@chrismassin700]

I performed the master cylinder upgrade When I turn the key on to the first position, the rear brake lights are on I have NOT flushed the brakes or abs system to date I started the project 3 mths ago and put things on pause as we got busy with other projects So Any insights in what I may have done incorrectly before I get at it Chris

Probably something to do with your brake light switch. I would check that out first. www.bimmerfest.com/threads/diy-e39-brake-switch-replacement-video.731586/

Will the E65 brake booster fit as well? I am thinking of just getting the whole preowned kit from eBay which includes booster, BMC, and expansion tank.

[@anewto]

That I do not know. I haven't heard that the booster will fit too, just the master cylinder.

[@mirzha001]

E39 or e65 booster?

Hey its been a while and i understand that u wont respond. Great video but i have a question about abs block/pump and heatshield, do i have to change them too to a e65 one or i can just keep them stock for a while, and about the heatshield - is it necessary to put in right away or i can drive without it for a while?

[@worthygarage]

You don't need to change abs pump at all and nor is the heat shield necessary. The only thing you need to do is cycle the abs pump to get the bubbles out introduced by changing the master cylinder.
