Buy it from a BMW Dealer! It will be cheapest stuff you can buy and be 100% guaranteed that it will be compatible with your car. 1 litre will be sufficuient for a wee three. I used less than 1 litre in my E39. Andrew ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!

I found that the Halfrauds stuff didn't match the spec for the E39. The E39 needed DOT 4 and Halfrauds only had DOT 5 stuff which isn't compatible with the seals etc in the 'ordinary' Beamers. You musn't mix up the spec of the brake fluid. The Castrol DOT 4 from Halfrauds was more expensive than the stuff from the BMW dealer. ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!
