BMW Power Steering Reservoir (E-Chassis Models)

[majdi]

Hi guys! EAE Lab in collaboration with DesignetiX just launched a Power Steering Reservoir for all BMW E-Chassis models! Wanted to share it along here and show you guys as well. I personally had to change my power steering reservoir on my E92 and it only had 58k miles on it and reading all of the forums and group posts, this actually seems to be a chronic problem especially for those who track their cars often. The content below was a Facebook post shared by Waylon Jeffrey so I wanted to share it here. Thanks guys!

Design:

The EAE Lab PS reservoir ensures that there’s more capacity within the reservoir itself – 35 mL more. The cap is designed in a manner that ensures that the power steering fluid does not make it into the engine bay no matter how hard you track your car or drive on the streets. It also has a user-serviceable integrated filter. Finally, it is manufactured from the highest grade 6061 T6 Billet Aluminum that can be anodized to the color of your choice!

EAE Lab is done with the prototype and test phase of this project and is off to the Production stage now. Production will begin in the next 2-3 weeks. Since I funded this project, this PS Reservoir will be sold exclusively by my company. This is why the pricing will be extremely reasonable. To keep the costs down, I'm going to have to order 300 sets up front. I know most of you still have the OEM reservoir, make the jump now so all of us can benefit from the savings.

Initial Launch Price: $299.00

I'd like to see proof that this prevents fluid from leaking and won't cause a loss of power steering. It has the same weep hole in the cap which is where the fluid leaks from. I'd also be concerned that the filter will decrease the flow back into the feed chamber and cause a loss of power steering. So you'll have to run the fluid level higher which exacerbates the fluid leaking issue. The OE reservoir has a screen in it for a reason.

You can replace these reservoirs for $40 too. I have a hard time seeing these sell for $300. Also have to consider the Chase Bays reservoir is $129 AND at least attempts to improve on the OE shortcomings.

You can install a plastic fitting and run a tube to a remote reservoir to prevent leakage. I shimmed my PS pump relief which has significantly reduced the amount of fluid that leaks out.

OES/M reservoir is as cheap as $20, I've seen.
