68 bucks. Could be worse.
If you waited to replace them after a while of leaking, you'd be replacing a compressor too at 500 bucks from Arnott!

One of those clips broke on my X5 a few years ago, so I had to buy a whole new reservoir. The job was done by BMW New Zealand, and they said it didn't matter that the new reservoir was a different design to the old one, so I have gone ever since with the left reservoir being original, and the right being the new design, without any problems.

Thanks for the great write-up, X5Kiwi! Definitely a bookmark!
How did the ride change when you put those yellow shocks in? I'm sure it firmed it up, but is it abrupt now, especially over pavement transitions?

While I was waiting for my new resevoir to arrive (BMW New Zealand had to order it from Germany) the mechanic just used a small cable tie to hold the pipe to the resevoir and it worked perfectly? Maybe save yourself some dollars, use a cable tie and just replace it every 6 months for safety?
