I posted about this briefly in another thread, but my 4 yr 'free' maintenance period came up in August of this year and my dealer that I have gone to for the past 6 years really hooked it up. They did front brakes (pads, rotors etc.), replaced corroded coolant expansion tank, oil change, cabin...

Hey guys my wife took my car in for the first service (has about 11k miles) to get oil, brake fluid, micro filters etc. But when she came back the idrive showed that brake fluid service was still needed. The paperwork shows that they did brake fluid so did the dealer just not reset the computer...

OK, I know how much we all love to discuss automotive fluids (and tires and spark plugs..), but my searches have only turned up a few discussions of brake fluid, and none of them have really answered my basic question "Which fluid type works best for ASC/DSC equipped E-39s".
