    It's all about location, location, location. Sometimes I hear about these mythical creatures called "rust free cars", but have never laid eyes on one.

    Probably not going to be able to save money on a BMW- most high end euro cars seem to use "softer" iron for the rotors that has great stopping power but is designed to wear out and be replaced with the pads.

    Brake fluid is NOT "normal" hydraulic fluid.
    Normal hydraulic fluid will last virtually forever, except in heavy extreme use.
    Brake fluid normally does not.
