Hmmmm.....  The hot "cool" setup is to go to your bmw dealer and buy the
brake fluid there, it rivals the best of the rest......  NJTH.....  Vapor
lock would be a pretty extreme condition, and not sure if you never changed
your fluid that would happen by absorbsion......  Change the fluid once or
twice a year (more if you go to the track), and the DOT3/4 argument is
mute.....  Don't pour water in the brake lines and vapor lock won't be a
problem......
