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

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.
