Removing the Coolant Reservoir in a BMW Z4
1. Release the hood by pulling the lever under the dashboard on the drivers side. Push the hood up until its fully open.
2. Locate the coolant reservoir in the back of the engine on the drivers side, next to the wheel well. Place a pan under the reservoir to collect any coolant that drips out.
3. Detach the bolts that hold the reservoir in place, using a socket wrench. The bottom bolt is 10 millimeters, and the two on the front side are 11 and 13 millimeters.
4. Detach the hoses from the reservoir by removing the clamps with a Philips screwdriver. Wait for all the liquid to drain into the pan below. Lift the coolant reservoir tank out.
