SMG Fluid Reservoir Location?

[kerberos]

Hi guys,

New here, great to be join this great and active forum. I currently drive a "normal" E46 SMG, however do have aspirations to get a CSL :drool: one day.

Question is about the SMG Tank/Reservoir - where is it? Anyone got a picture they can post up?

Basically want to check the fluid level to ensure it's where it should be. I don't have any SMG problems (thankfully) right now, however many years of "life experience" have taught me that "prevention is better than cure"



Thanks,

Ive not got a pic to post up matey,but i think if i remember on the standard M3 it is at the back above the dip stick.On a CSL it is at the front by the air intake.Could be wrong though.

As BOUNCE says on a CSL the expansion tank is adjacent to the air intake flap, at least this will give you some idea of what you are looking for on the M3. :smt023

Just looked in an old M3 manual i have and it is right at the back in line with your dip stick.:thumbs:

Thanks guys. I have an idea what to look for now. I guess it would be easier if I have a Coupe SL. rayer:
