How to replace the coolant reservoir in the BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Antifreeze coolant

In this tutorial we can see how to replace the coolant reservoir in the BMW 3 Series, a very simple operation. First of all, we wait for the engine to be completely cold, then we open the hood and remove both the air filter box and the intake duct. We then disconnect both ends of the indicated tube, also disconnect the lower sensor connector and release the reservoir by pulling it forcefully upwards. At this point we can position the replacement, reassemble everything following the reverse procedure and refill the necessary amount of liquid to reach the ideal level.
