I saw this. But I wonder how many people actually need it. Some get by with the use of a wrist band and others like me never had an issue.

I have set up that was discussed on here before with a catch can approach. This is just an alternative to the crazy expensive 3D design one. But am thinking about picking this up.

Interested to see some feedback from those who ordered this. I've been using the wristband and haven't had any problems, but it does make me somewhat uncomfortable that the system loses fluid in the first place.

That's what i'm most concerned about too - losing too much fluid. I am losing tons of fluid at the track.

zero loss with the small auxiliary reservoir DIY that was posted here a few months ago, ~$20 solution. Drove me nuts on the first day as the overflow fluid was staying at the aux reservoir, until I took out the insulation under the cap and it started flowing back (a vending hole replacement essentially, minus the spill)

I have that contraption (originally developed by Kaiv) on my car. Works well.

some ppl are already running some sort of reservoir...seen a couple of them that have a little tank off to the side the size of a breather filter.

I'm considering a similar solution for my E46M3 cooling system. I am going to replace the plastic OE expansion tank for a larger aluminum tank with aluminum tubing running from the water neck of the upper radiator hose to the expansion tank. I think by replacing rubber and plastic with heat dissipating aluminum will add some cooling capability. I think the P/S system needs more cooling...not just a bigger reservoir.

Tom@EAS says the reservoir from the 1M is a direct swap except for one hose fitting adapter since the outlet nozzle on the 1M reservoir is larger than the M3's hose. Seems like it would be cheaper if someone knew the exact measurements to determine the correct adapter. I asked Tom, but he couldn't remember. The 1M's reservoir is about $35 and has a design that doesn't seem to allow overflow.
