    Where does everyone put their ps res?

    I looked at a bunch of bay pictures and I can't seem to find them anywhere! I don't want to reinvent the wheel. So wheres it hiding?

      it mounts in a bracket on the driver's side motor mount arm. you'll see the 2 threaded holes that hold the bracket.

          Resevoir is the same but you'll need the sheet metal bracket from the E36.

                $150 for a metal ps reservoir that is buried under the air cleaner so you can't even see it? no thanks.

                      Made my own bracket and mounted my PS and brake reservoir to it.

                            I have to do something about my PS reservoir as well shortly...but I can only think the location on the engine arm would be a PITA to access...is this the case?

                              I'm still pondering on placement. I don't have a bracket to put it on the motor arm. I tried where the intake box used to be but it doesn't want to sit on it well enough.
