Looks good (like the Frost Black BMW is finishing some ///M cars with).

Need to do the chrome trim pc around the roundel.

Good idea! will do.

Yes I went with Stoptech.Where do you get the 200 brake fluid from?any auto parts store?any reason not to buy from the dealer the OE stuff?thx

I get the Ate 200 from BavAuto, ECS Tuning or Bimmerzone.

My shop carries the Typ 200 (I like to let them do the flushes and give my X5 a once over on the lift)

www.redlinespeedworx.com

But I would buy from ECS, BavAuto etc, don't need to buy brake fluid in a BMW bottle when OEM fluid will do

When was the blue banned?

Couple years back because of the dye. I remember it used to wreak havoc on clutch master cylinders of VW's because of the dye as well.

Been using Typ 200 (amber) for about 6 years now

I am running the blue now. Doesn't seem like the last time I bled the brakes was two years ago, time flies when you're having fun.

I have seen the ATE at autozone I think

never heard anything about the die being a problem but some stupid US gov thing about it looking good to drink or something :rofl:

been at least 6yrs now but maybe it has only been a few. I still have a can unopened as I would switch between that and the amber when doing flushes on the M3

Federal government passed a law around 15 yrs ago, ALL brake fluid MUST be clear or amber on ANY vehicle operated on public roads.

I still have 2 unopened cans of Ate SuperBlue Racing fluid (the fluid was sold up until a few yrs ago for "track use" vehicles, hence the "racing" in the name). I like switching from amber to blue each fluid flush because of the stark contrast between the gold/amber and blue colors (MUCH more visible then the gold/amber and clear).

I currently have the SuperBlue in the X, will do an amber swap when I install the new tires next week.
