How much brake fluid do I need to get?

My 320 has non-ABS with Discs all round.

(Probably going to go for ATE superblue fluid, as recommended in another poll/thread, plus goodridge braided hoses to get through next MoT)

Get 2 litres dude, one will be used up with the flushing process , just bleed until all the old mingin stuff has vanished without a trace.

you'll be suprised how much you'll use once you get going, average BFC @ work uses 1.5 litres, thats with a pnumatic pressure bleeder
