AGA makes the best looking PS reservoir, has a filter, cooling fins, but they stopped making them. I suggested the head guy over there to start production on it again. AGA didn't list the E9x chassis, which is why demand for them were low.

This is what mine looks like after every session. Fluid was dripping to the wheel well, causing slippage on the right front wheel during. braking. Socks would help, but that's a bandaid to the real cooling and fluid volume issue.

D088 vs stock cooler image.
Get an inline filter as you're forgoing that with the BW reservoir vs OEM.
