Flush/Fill Brakes

I’m getting ready to flush and fill my brake system. Right off hand does anyone know how much fluid it takes to do this?

I don't know exactly, but when I had my JCW brake kit done, I gave the dealer 6 new cans of ATE Super Blue to flush/fill, and he gave me back 2 unopened cans.

Just had mine done and it only took 1 (one liter) can of ATE super blue. I dont ahve the JCW brakes, but I doubt it would be much(if any) different.
Wonder what your dealer did with the other 3 cans

Yup - only takes a liter. I've flushed both of our MINIs for the first time in the past week. Pretty easy to do yourself if you use a (Motive) pressure bleeder.

One can of Ate Blue was enough for me to flush and bleed brakes two times around plus the clutch. Think I'd ask dealer what he did with the other cans you gave him.
