Brake pedal adjustment.

Is this done by screwing the booster in and out?

Fine tuning is by an eccentric bolt connecting the rod to the master cylinder to the pedal lever. It takes two wrenches. Loosten one end and turn the other and you will find the pedal moving in and out. Put it where you want it and tighten the locking nut.

Good luck.

This is the same set up as with the clutch on my 240D?

Booster to MBC or booster to pedal?

There is no adjustment between the booster and mc that I am aware of.

Shame, there was on my Honda. So the connecting rod doesnt have any nuts all the way to the booster. Atleast on the one I looked at (ATE vs Girling in the dd) didn't but I did find that by turning it you could make it go in and out a bit. The problem is that I see no way to turn it with the pedals installed?
