If you already have one that's just leaking, you're much better off replacing all the seals. See the archives for details. If you don't have a booster at all, the BMW part Ed referenced is identical to the urq aluminum model, except the shaft that connects to the brake pedal is shorter. That can probably be remedied with length of rod cut with the proper metric threads on each end and a connector to mate to the existing shaft. If you can't find an urq booster, I suggest finding a BMW one in a junkyard, rebuild it, and add a shaft extension--gotta be much cheaper than a new booster. 

For the rebuild, here's a BMW guy who's selling kits:

He's also got a bunch of info on the replacement procedure. It looks like his kit is just for the aluminum model. If you're rebuilding an iron booster, a couple of the small interior seals won't fit.
