The brake fluid in my E53 is currently blue.

Bendix DOT4 fluid was dyed blue for many years. They have changed to the regular straw-coloured dye now - and I'm due a flush, so out with the blue...

I like to change fluid to a differnt colour when flushing - makes it easier to see when the fresh fluid is pushed out at the bleed nipple. Getting hard to do that now, since pretty much all DOT4 is now straw coloured.
