OEM brake fluid?

Anyone know what kind of brake fluid our M2's use? I have to do a flush and need to buy a quart.

I guess this:

But I would go with this for normal driving:

Any DOT4 works. ATE Type200 is very good for the price, as suggested

How often should I be flushing the brake fluid on the M2 if it has not been track driven? Will the car notify me if the brake fluid needs to be flushed? Is this something BMW checks when the car goes in for it's regular service?

The standard time for brake fluid change is 2 years. You can check it in the iDrive menu.
