        since I've flushed my system when I bought my M-tech I
        I've putted DOT4 brake fluid in

        It doesn't harm anything if you add some DOT4 with DOT3
        (DOT4 has a higher boiling point)

        but stay away from the old DOT 3 fluid

          ATE Super Blue made my pedal feel much stiffer. Stock brake set up too.
          The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.
