Which brake fluid do you guys recommend for stock brakes and pads? It's been over 2 years since I bought the car and I haven't done it once...

Thanks anandoc. Ecstuning says I need 3 bottles, does that sound right?

You can also any other brand name as long as it says DOT 4. As long as you are not racing the car. Street use only.

I went with BMW's fluid the first time around. I'm now using Pentosin DOT4 LV (low viscosity) because apparently our ABS works best with a low viscosity fluid.

+1. Pentosin. Not familiar with the LV. Not sure of the ZHP requirements on low viscosity. Any related documentations on ABS?

I think I ended up using 2 bottles for a bleed. You would probably need 3 for a full flush+bleed. Plus, its always handy to have an extra bottle just in case.

You mean between sedan and coupe? Yeah you can swap them. It didn't matter when I did it one time. The rail is exactly the same length between the two except the sedan has that extra attachment for the seatbelt.
