Where is the brake fluid reservoir? 2005 BMW 525

Boss brought his car out for a quicky front brake pad/rotor job on his '05 BMW 525.... I could not find the brake fluid reservoir and definitely overflowed it when pushing the pistons back in..... Brake fluid was dripping from under the car. Boss did not care, and was in a hurry to leave but I have to find the damn thing tomorrow at work and try to clean up the mess and see if the reservoir is damaged.

I tried to explain why we needed to find it prior to pushing the pistons back in, but he was real short on time and just said to go for it. I feel like an idiot and hope nothing is effed up.

It's hidden under a cover underneath the windshield cowl directly above where the brake pedal is located on the firewall.
