I ran the car at laguna seca a couple weekends ago and the reservoir temps are night and day compared to mounting them on the strut bar or close to the engine. Before I couldn’t hold my hand on the reservoirs because they would get so hot and now the reservoirs actually feel cold to the touch.

Planning to do this for the front but using something nicer than zip ties would be great if anyone has any ideas?
Now for the rear I am not planning to gut anything but want the reservoirs mounted cleanly where they don't impede access or trunk space as I will be running the carpet liners. I was thinking of something like the Rennscott mount with an adapter that allows the mount to bolt the reservoir horizontally to the parcel shelf using the existing chassis mounting bolts pictured below which would allow you to route the reservoir lines up over the carpet liner which would be a super clean and discrete install. Anyone with solidworks or cad and a 3d printer willing to help out and design something? I imagine a lot of guys would be interested in a plug and play solution that is completely reversible and clean.

Anyone running quick disconnects with their reservoirs? Looks like its the only way to mount them cleanly if you run the liners in the rear and in the engine bay using TPE setup and want to hide the lines? Looking to send my MCS off in the next day or two to be upgraded to reservoirs and need this figured out ASAP to see if I really need to drop 1k extra for the quick disconnects.2003 E46 M3 TiAg/Cinnamon 6MT

But I don’t have any direct experience with remote reservoirs. So take with a grain of salt.

Here's a picture of them mocked up, if anyone has a pic they can share of how the lines look that will be great.
