Exactly. The larger BMW booster only changes the feel of the brakes but
not their braking capacity. Less pedal effort for same braking. Not much
of an upgrade IMHO, just a substitute part that is easy to find new and
used that also costs less to buy. Probably not worth it for anyone who
isn't already used to modifying metal parts to fit their own vehicles.
