This Genuine BMW Brake Master Cylinder is specifically for the 1997 (first year) E39 5 Series, including 1997 528i and 1997 540i sedan. It was also used on the early (1995-1997) model E38 7 Series, including the 740i, 740iL, and 750iL for the 1995, and 1997 model years. This is the highest quality replacement for your old, failing master cylinder on these first year car. The master cylinder controls the distribution of brake fluid through your entire braking system, so even a small leak from a failing part can cause poor brake pedal feel and inaccurate brake modulation.
This master cylinder is for the earlier cars, before the electronic stability control was added. This master cylinder unit is NOT for cars with stability control, and is only for 1997 and earlier models.
If you've found your brake pedal travel to be getting longer, particularly when sustained pressure is applied, a thorough inspection and likely replacement is highly recommended.
