BMW Service points are familiar with
the factory-approved brake fluids
(DOT 4).
aBrake fluid is hygroscopic, that
is to say it absorbs moisture gradually
from the air. To ensure that the brake
system remains fully operational, the
brake fluid must be renewed every
2 years by BMW Service.c
Please note the instruction on Page
106.
aBrake fluid is toxic and attacks
the car's paintwork. Keep it in sealed
original packs, out of reach of chil-
dren. When disposing of brake fluid,
comply with environmental protection
laws.
Do not spill brake fluid; fill the reser-
voir only up to the MAX mark. If brake
fluid comes into contact with hot parts
of the engine, it can ignite and cause
serious burns.c
