I run RBF600 and you will need 3. I am planning on making the switch to Castrol SRF as well |

It will all depend on what you're using the car for. For street driving the OEM DOT 4 is fine. Next step up is something like ATE Type 200. If you need more heat-resistance for the track then RBF600 is a logical next step. Or, as Lutfy says, just flush once with SRF and be done with it until the next year. |

I use 2 bottles of 660 for every flush. I do it about every 3 months depending on # of track days. I use a turkey baster to empty the reservoir, refill and then do the calipers. Two bottles is plenty to get a nice purge from all 8 bleeders.

Two bottles (1L) is enough for the brakes -- having a third bottle is to be safe if you overshoot. SRF is great for track days. Some hardcore racers feel like its recovery characteristics lead to subsequent suboptimal feel, but The average mortal won't be driving the car to those limits.

SRF is all about the wet boiling point. If you flush frequently there is no benefit of SRF over 660. It never gets wet.

SRF is the best street fluid you can use because of the high wet boiling temps.
Motul RBF is ok for occasional track use but will require frequent bleeds if you're hard on the brakes. For track, the new Torque fluid is very good and has better properties than most. Here is a comparison: http://torquebrakefluid.com/compare_...ke_fluids.html Personally I am running Project Mu G-Four in my car. Work great and cheaper than SRF or Torque and higher wet and dry boiling point than any RBF.

I'd go with SRF on stock brakes. SRF comes back after you boil it. Motul 660 and 600 does not...will need to bleed it.
Either way, 2 bottles of SRF or 3 bottles of Motul...especially if you have a manual.

Motul RBF660 is certainly compatible with the E92 M3, but as others have mentioned, we also found that it required more frequent flushes. We recently made the switch to the Brembo Racing LCF600 Plus for our street/HPDE/TT drivers and HTC64T for our club race/endurance race drivers.
In comparison to other great fluids on the market, we found these two to have better boil recovery than their respective competitors. None the less, all of the fluids mentioned in this thread offer good results! Best of luck with your search. |

Castrol SRF is an amazing fluid and works exactly as advertised. The Brembo Racing HTC64T is more comparable to the Castrol SRF. We offer all three pending what our clients need. Let us know if we can help you out! |

I've heard more than one recommendation for Elf 650 recently. Comes in a blue plastic liter bottle.
I definitely will be upgrading to something heavier duty next time I flush, I have a lot of Motul 600 and that's what's in the car now so next time I bleed it'd be stupid not to use it, but I have experienced some fluid fade, which is the first time I've ever experienced it with Motul 600. This car makes a lot of brake heat. I've not tried the 660.

At least SRF can survive 18 months of abuse despite similar specs. It came out super dirty...but still felt pretty good. That's why SRF is worth the $$$.

I used 600 most recently after SRF because I needed something and it was there. Never buying it again. One event was good. Second event I spent more time working on my car than fucking driving. Amazon just sent me SRF. Can't wait to flush the Motul crap out.
