Brake fluid reservior location E39

[betep]

Stupid question, but I can't locate the reservior - I'm planning to change brake fluid.

All my cars had it under the hood on the left side next to the booster - and here I can't find it. please help

The fluid reservoirs brake & clutch) are located underneath the microfilter housing on the driver's side. The cover, filter, and housing comes out pretty easily.

Damn, I can't find it either, but is is under the filter thing.

Under the left cabin filter housing.
1. flip down the wire bail that holds the front housing closed
2. remove the housing cover by lifting the forward edge and disengaging the rear
3. remove the filter
4. remove the spring clip in front of the housing that holds the housing to the stud
5. remove any wiring routed through the clip.
6. use a screwdriver to pry up the edge of the duct that runs from the housing to the hvac system
7. carefully lift the housing off the stud and remove
8. the hydraulic fluid reservoir is clearly visible

This might take all of 5 minutes the first time, 30 seconds with practice.
