Tool for Reservoir Caps?

[Ken H.]

I think I read somewhere there is a special BMW tool for opening the clutch and front brake reservoirs without damaging the cap.

Does this sound familiar to anyone, and if so does anyone know the part number?

Thanks!

All I needed was an extra hand to push in the little clip on one side, while I pushed the clip on the other side, and then rotated. No special tool is needed.

There is a tool. If you want one, why not call the 800# at chicago bmw and they will get you one. They know the part #.

The tool is part number 321 511.

In the UK all tool numbers are prefaced with 80 00 0 but this may be different in the US - your dealer should be able to work from the 6 digit number though.

Costs a little under £5 here.
