The dude at the BMW service said that if you drain the big one, the little one will empty too, which i thought was either strange/wrong - why have two filler caps if they connect somewhere?

2 reservoirs

Larger one is for engine cooling system.

2nd smaller one is for water to air charge cooler integrated into intake manifold
