Video tutorial

In this video, we will see where the brake fluid reservoir is located on a BMW X1. Unfortunately, it is in a very awkward position. You need to open the hood, and on the driver's side, you can see - partially hidden by the mechanical parts of the hood - the cap of the reservoir, which is actually even lower than your line of sight.

There is a white label above it, and next to it, there is a bar labeled "042" which is the brake booster depressor, where the diaphragm is contained. You can see the fluid level from a distance, and you can top it off, although with some difficulty.
