Brake Fluid for F90s with CCB

Any recommendations on which brake fluids to use for the F90s with CCBs? The car is a daily. Thanks!

Do the CCBs require special fluid brake fluid? Do daily drivers require special brake fluid? How has the stock fluid been inadequate for your use? I would identify the problem you are trying to solve. Price? Change interval? Boiling?

Only if those CCBs came on a comp. Then it requires the special comp brake fluid. Adds 17' of stopping power.

Do you know the part number for that "special" fluid?

You pull out your platinum card, say you have an M5 Comp with CCB and want the most expensive brake fluid available.

How about a real recommendation?

If you're not going to track the car, use the stock BMW fluid. It's quite good.

If you're going to track the car, if money is no object, Castrol SRF and change it every 18 months.
