Brembo LCF600 brake fluid

Anyone ever use this brake fluid in the MINI? I am curious because it says it has some of the best firm pedal feel out of other brake fluids. However there is a warning with it that it can't be used with any system that has magnesium. Since the brakes and the clutch system use the same fluid is there any magnesium in the clutch slave cylinder or anywhere in the system?




Brembo LCF600

‘Typical’ New Dry Boiling Point = 316°C (601°F)
‘Wet’ E.R. (Equilibrium Reflux) Boiling Point = 204°C (399°F)

Brembo LCF 600+ exceeds all DOT 4 requirements and is suitable for use in all DOT3, DOT4, and DOT 5.1 brake system applications.

LCF 600+ is an ideal choice for racing or performance use - combining ultra-high dry boiling point, low compressibility, and consistent pedal feel.

IMPORTANT NOTE
DO NOT USE Brembo LCF 600+ fluid in contact with any type of magnesium components (e.g. gearbox / clutch components) as a chemical reaction is caused resulting in gases being generated. This will then prevent the clutch hydraulics from working efficiently.

I have a really hard time believing that you would notice a difference in pedal feel between one high temp brake fluid and another.

I doubt the mini has any magnesium in the clutch/brakes as that's generally a pretty expensive metal to use but I don't know for sure.
