Having done a lot of research via mainly the US forums, Ive decided I will have a bash at doing this.
So Ive got the BMW reservoir and all the other bits needed to complete the job. However, before I get carried away I wondered if anyone who has done this has any tips.
My main concerns are:
With this in mind is the small coolant capacity of the BMW res going to be the downfall of this mod. Im guessing for my limited WOT use it would be okay.
Any help or ideas very much appreciated.

My main concerns are:
- Bleeding - how did you go about bleeding it afterwards. Is it as simple as engaging the IC pump and topping up?
- Is the fact the BMW res has no vent like a normal expansion tank an issue? should I install a rated PSI vent or is this not needed?
