Brake fluid on new F90 M5
Good day folks! Just took delivery of my new M5 and I'm anxious to go through the break in miles and see what that thing is capable of.
Question: do you guys know what type of brake fluid comes stock with this car? If I'd want to use a 660 fluid, is it a straightforward process to bleed the system on this car or does it require the shop computer to open valves etc? Thanks for your input Thomaz |

Bumping up: has someone done a brake fluid change on the F90? Is it straightforward or does one need to hook a computer up while doing this, in other words, only the dealer can do that? Thanks

I had the dealer do this and it was a quick job for them. Successfully completed a HPDE at Laguna Seca without any brake fade. 660 is the way to go, should be standard fluid on these cars!

Have replaced mine with Castrol SRF. It's a straightforward standard Brembo gravity bleed in the front. The ABS might not vent without the dealer tool, but the wheel calipers bleed directly from the reservoir just fine.
