Perfect for street/daily driver & track on my E92 M3!

My M3's CBS (Condition Based Service) light came on asking me to replace/service brake fluid with the triangle/exclamation mark on startup on the dash as well as X'ing out brake fluid in red on the navigation/i-drive service requirement screen. Since I drive the car hard & it see's canyon and track time, I chose Motul RBF 600 over the way cheaper genuine BMW fluid or the popular ATE can's which I used on my E46 M3 and performed great. Anyone that has tracked their E9X knows the braking system on the E92 M3 is inadequately cooled, toasting the brakes & rotors, boiling the fluid and then spongy pedal & fading is apparent. So I swapped out the bmw brake fluid for this higher boiling point Motul RBF 600, will be adding custom brake cooling ducts directing cooler air flow to the hub/center of the rotor and swapping out the pads and rotors for something more aggressive and robust to demanding driving conditions/track use. Since my M3 is 6MT, I bought 4 bottles for a complete flush & bleed of the entire brake system at each caliper as well as the clutch. Motive Power Bleeder is a must have investment if you own BMWs, have bled the brakes on my E30, E36, E46 and E92 M3's, saves time and no need for a 2nd person to pump & hold the brakes while you open up the bleed screws, wife will love it! As a side note, I also bought separately the universal kit for the Motive bleeder which was hit & miss on my honda/acura's. On the BMW's since it screws tight onto the brake/clutch fluid reservoir, it works great & holds pressure, on the honda/acuras it's just a chain and wing nuts you screw down the flat cap over the honda/acura reservoir (tab & click lock type, not screw on), so its basically a friction fitting. It would leak under pressure most of the time, so great for BMW's, not so great for other cars using the universal kit at least in my experience.
