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.
