Overview
Brake fluid Vehicle Identification Number
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, that is,
it absorbs moisture from the air
over time.
In order to ensure the operating safety
and reliability of the brake system, have
the brake fluid changed every two years
by a BMW center. Refer also to the
Service and Warranty Information
Booklet (US models) or the Warranty
and Service Guide Booklet (Canadian
models).
Brake fluid is hazardous to health and
will damage the vehicle's paint. You
should always store it in its original
container and in a location which is
inaccessible to children.
Avoid brake fluid spills. Do not fill brake
fluid beyond the "MAX" mark in the
reservoir. The brake fluid could ignite
upon contact with hot engine parts and
cause serious burns.
<
Comply with the applicable envi-
ronmental laws regulating the
disposal of brake fluid.
<
The Vehicle Identification Number is
located in the engine compartment
below the windshield (arrow) and on the
top of the instrument panel.
