Brake fluid requirement

Have a 08 535 needing it's biannual brake fluid flush. What fluid specification is required for it?
I have used ATE 200 in other cars, but does this car require the SL6?

Thanks.

You need a DOT4 brake fluid that is also rated for low viscosity.

Pentosin DOT4LV will work, as will ATE SL6.
