Starting to Split the Cooling system - PICS
Last night I finally installed a BMW PS reservoir in the engine bay. I bought it of bimmerforums for 15 shipped. there was a filter inside the reservoir that i had to demolish via a screw driver. Today I am going to run the hoses the split the system.
This is the stock bracket that came with the reservoir and it fits perfectly

Since the reservoir is only used as a fill point i blocked the return line into the reservoir with a rubber plug.

Here is a pic of the reservoir mounted. it touches the heat insulation material on the hood.

LOL, Just wait till you get there, Yes your right about what to do but its the prossess of getting the band clamp off that I was like WTF. I'm sure you have better tools than what I have but still it was a crazy pain in the ***. I ended up cutting the hose with the clamp still on and plugging the hose, Not what i had planned on but it still worked all the same. Good Luck either way and keep us posted.

I am not going to mess with the band clamps. There is one regular clamp on the bottom of the stock T, which can be taken off with a wise grip. After that clamp is off I will cap the stock T, so engine cooling is isolated.
The ic cooling circuit will get the 3/4 to 5/8 spice with a hose which will go to the reservoir.
Hopefully it will go as planned.
