All current production BMWs are using the new reservoir (sans M3). The new unit has a slightly improved venting system.
Here's a shot of the revised version on my M3, which sees regular track use.

I have it narrowed down to a BMW motorcycle rear brake fluid reservoir. Hose/fitting is just a vaccum line. Maybe battery vent tube will work too.
Found it, from the F650GS. Has the mounting ear too. Part number 34217706055 Vaccum line: 11727545323 (1meter) Straight or 90 degree connector/fitting : from local auto parts store Last edited by kaiv; 04-22-2013 at 05:48 PM.. |

A hose adapter will be needed for the bottom outlet, as its a bit larger than the M3's.
