What is that "button" on top of it for?
My 240D is a Euro. There is plenty of room for mounting it on the passenger side inner fender, although it takes about 13 feet of 5/16 hose to get there and back. I made a homemade bracket, mounted to existing holes. It is easy to reach around the filter to access the drain. I could not find 5/16 nipples that fit the filter. Had to use 3/8 nipples and force the hoses on.

The button is a primer pump. I believe there is a cheaper version available without the primer.
