E90 Brake booster Master Cylinder

This is a long shot question, but does anyone know any other master cylinders that fit in the E90 booster?

I am in the middle of an engine swap in my E30, and I am using an E90 booster. The problem is that the E90 Master has the brake lines on the wrong side, I can make it work but I would rather not have to extend and wrap lines around.

I was told the E83 X3 master fits, but it doesn't, its about 1-2mm to thick to fit inside.

Does anyone have any other options?

Not sure if it is helpful, but I put an m3 master cylinder in my e92 328i, and although it came with booster; they looked identical and better output.

Would a RHD master have the output ports on the other side?

Thanks for the replies. It doesnt matter anymore, no matter how much we trimmed or squeezed the E90 booster wont work in the E30 with the S54 intake.

Switching to the Porshe 944 booster.

944 booster is smaller, pancake shape, compared to e9x booster. However, e46 is very similar to 944, if you want to stay BMW true.

I would but the 944 takes almost no modifications to fit, and it accepts the E30 master.

Can you maybe slot the holes on the fire wall and move it away some for better clearance?
